Hi Alan,

There are two minor changes.  Quoting from PSARC/2005/673:

     1. Jump targets are displayed consistently across platforms.
        Previously the SPARC disassembler would display targets as:

          40 00 47 70        call   snprintf

        While x86 would display them as:

          e8 b9 d6 ff ff     call   -0x2942 <snprintf>

        The disassembler has been unified to display the "offset
        <symbol>" form, as this provides more information and is
        consistent with the MDB disassembler.

     2. The second change is to wrap long instructions across multiple
        lines in order to keep the disassembly aligned consistently.
        This only affects x86 disassembly...
