After the bandaid, I see some strange constructs like (press 'o' to view
the original disassembly):

    0.00 ||  399f877dc6:v je     399f877dd5 <_int_free+0x735>
    0.00 ||  399f877dc8:  lock   decl (%r12)
    0.00 |+------877dcd:^ jne    399f87bd64 <_L_unlock_5659>
    0.00 |   399f877dd3:v jmp    399f877ddf <_int_free+0x73f> 

There is a bug above, the start_width for the arrow is bigger than it
should, will fix.

Pressing 'o' again this becomes:

    0.00 ||      v je     735
    0.00 ||        lock   decl (%r12)
    0.00 |+------^ jne    0
    0.00 |       v jmp    73f 

The 'jne 0' line, its a misparse of the <....> part, it ass-umed that a
+ was there all the time, which is not true, so I should instead do a
fixup when traversing the ->offsets array, looking for dl->target.ops =
0 and, since we know where the symbol starts at that point, fix it.
