After talking with Andrew, it seemes a possible solution could be using
try/catch to catch the usual suspect (a.k.a. MEMORY_ERROR):
Please let me know what you think of this change?

insn_pos = (1 + (addr_size / tab_len)) * tab_len;
My only concern is what if we have MEMORY_ERROR exception for reasons other
than disassembling PC addresses that just went beyond the valid range. Do
such reasons exist in this scenario?
