The information logged are the page-fault address (pf_addr, pf) and
the instruction pointer resp. program counter (pf_ip, ip) of the
component when the actual page-fault CPU exception happens. The
potential reasons are manifold, but in the end your component tried to
read an invalid virtual-memory address, i.e. caused a so-called
segmentation fault. Please inspect your binary at address 0x102f56c
for further investigation.

If 0x102f56c is not in your binary it is part of a dynamically-loaded
library. In this case add

   <config ld_verbose="yes"...>

to the components init configuration start node and investigate the
logged link map. From this map and your IP value you may calculate the
offset into the shared object and inspect its binary at the offset.
