    I think I messed up a little in my latest patch to Erik. Can you try
    this on top of CVS(which I think you have already)

    Hi Erik

    I just saw something that might be a problem.

    The "delta" variable is signed and
    the "delta" calculations, such as delta = PLT_LONGBRANCH_ENTRY_WORDS*4 - (insn_addr-plt_addr+4),
    are supposed to be unsigned.
