Hi Daniel,
The attached patch fixes a bug that causes the disassembler to dump code
when it should dump data.
This looks wrong to me. Why should the disassembler assume that, in the
absence of mapping symbols to guide it, the .text section contains data
rather than instructions ? Surely it is more likely to contain
instructions and it is merely that the mapping symbols are absent ?
Cheers
Nick
