In fact the "status access violation" message would be much more confusing for the "normal" non-programmer person. I believe the actual error would be "access violation", status is only the prefix. But I don't think that text would help normal users more. As in: "Who is that General Protection, what has he done to my computer and why is that his fault"? "General Protection Fault" were the words actually presented to the "normal" users before. It surely didn't help them to read that.
