Thanks.  I've been using objdump from my Slackware 12.0 installation
and looking at the code for it without thinking that maybe it had
changed in the last year.  I just got the 2.18.50.0.9 code from
Slackware 12.2 and indeed it looks like the whole problem I had has
been dealt with through the change to dump_lines and print_lines.
Great work!

BTW, the first thing I did when I saw this issue was to try to search
the archives of this list, and I didn't find anything relevant when
looking for "objdump -S".  I imagine that there is some discussion
back there in 2007 when this overhaul was done.  Could you point me to
it?

Thanks again for some great software and support.
