   Description: Access violation near NULL on source operand
   Short description: SourceAvNearNull (16/22)
   Explanation: The target crashed on an access violation at an address matching the source operand of the current instruction. This likely indicates a read access violation, which may mean the application crashed on a simple NULL dereference to data structure that has no immediate effect on control of the processor.
