Do you mind sending over your mutatee (libpng and/or the program using it)? I can poke around with dwarfdump and our dwarf parser's debug output and see what's up here. Turnaround may be a bit slow, between the holidays and some other projects with fixed deadlines I've got going, but I'll do what I can.

    What version of Dyninst is this? I know we've fixed quite a few type
    size computation problems in 8.2.1, but if this is with that version we
    obviously haven't gotten all of them...


I'm using the current version 8.2.1.
