Hmm, what's the rest of that address?  I have seen occasional accvios in recent versions of MMK at an address of 0x50, which smells like an offset from a null pointer, but the symptom has never been reproducible.  I've suspected a quota problem but never got to the bottom of it.  Try increasing quotas, especially the memory-related ones, and see if that helps.
