Unbelievable -- nice catch!

I would have thought since the output of the disassembly
was changed to a temporary file instead of stdout, that there
wouldn't be any line-wrap applied by gdb behind the scenes.

And as luck would have it, I did my testing in a window
larger than 80-columns...

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks again for finding this.
