Strange. Looks like the disassembler and memory windows work fine on
Intel 64, but not AMD 64. Uh oh.
By the way, instruction stepping is technically already implemented in
the disassembler by 'incrementing' the memory address, which iterates to
the next full assembly instruction in memory. The idea for the
SourceWindow is to step a series of individual instructions,
highlighting the relevant line, be it 2 or 4 or 6 instructions before
the next line step.
