Description
Binutils 2.17 objdump (070218 gcc package from BeBits) crashes when disassembling (gcc 2.95.3 generated) objects with debug info (objdump -D --demangle ...). Can be reproduced under both Haiku and BeOS.
I tracked down one problem to a dereferenced NULL pointer in opcodes/i386-dis.c:print_insn() (first putop() call). Apparently the bug has already been fixed in CVS version 1.132 (2007/08/02 00:40:02) of the file.
I get a different stack trace for another test file (libperl.so compiled with "-g") though, so it seems not to be the only problem.
Update to newer binutils recommended.

We're on 2.24 ATM. This has long since been fixed.

I noticed this ticket in review of Binutils 2.17 (2016-07). Still an issue?

Well, it doesn't seem to be that annoying since one can always use a more recent version of objdump now, in case they hit a similar problem.
I gave the binutils 2.18 a try, but merging the eh-frame stuff scared the shit out of me. Maybe it's possible to update only opcodes...
