How about trying:
 printf("Before fetch8\n");
 dump_regs(regs);
 opc = fetch8(regs);
 printf("After fetch8\n");
 switch (opc) { ...

This will let you see what eip is being fetched from, and also confirm that
the crash happens within fetch8().

You could also try adding more printf()s inside fetch8() and address() to
find out which specific bit of fetch8() is crashing (if that indeed the
function that is crashing).
