I don't see the point TBH.

The point was to add another layer of security, in case the sanboxing is
not perfect.

I wouldn't mind if that example was replaced
with lddtree as the alternative since it is functionally equivalent. However
it would be a safer recommendation to put that too inside a sandbox because
IMO you'd generally never want to run or even analyze arbitrary executables
without proper sandboxing.

Sure, I didn't know about lddtree.  Feel free to use it.

Mike, could you please post a patch replacing the objdump example with lddtree and recommending sandboxing?

Thanks,
Sid
