The new output looks very (very!) nice - but it is still a bit 
fragile:

earth5:~/tip/tools/perf> ./perf record -a sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.092 MB perf.data (~4008 samples) ]

earth5:~/tip/tools/perf> ./perf annotate _int_free
perf: Segmentation fault

The crash happens here:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000486cda in annotate_browser__mark_jump_targets (size=<optimized out>, 
    browser=<optimized out>) at ui/browsers/annotate.c:704
704			bdlt->jump_target = true;

But other than that the new assembly output is awesome :-)

Thanks,

	Ingo
