Ok, thanks for the input. I disassembled the code with my disassembler, and it became "bl ff993bd8"
WTF... I'll try using IDA, just to make sure is not a bug with my disassambler, but if it isn't, then I am very confused, since the location is pretty close to where it should jump..

It's not strange, it's exactly what I said would happen. BL only operates on a 24 bit PC relative value. So 0xff993ac4 = (PC - 6735164)

Since your code is loaded somewhere near the start (near 0x1900 or 0 depending on whether it's relocated) it will wrap around to just about the same address. However, even if you ended up with the right address, it wouldn't be legal:

Memory bounds
 Branching backwards past location zero and forwards over the end of the 32-bit address space is UNPREDICTABLE.

Don't forget what the H stands for.
