The abort is this one:

  if ((size_t) res >= sizeof (staging_area))
    abort ();

Doubling the buffer size fixes this particular test case.

    i386: Add MAX_OPERAND_BUFFER_SIZE
    
    When displaying operands, invalid opcodes may overflow operand buffer
    due to additional styling characters.  Each style is encoded with 3
    bytes.  Define MAX_OPERAND_BUFFER_SIZE for operand buffer size and
    increase it from 100 bytes to 128 bytes to accommodate 9 sets of styles
    in an operand.

    x86: avoid i386_dis_printf()'s staging area for a fair part of output
    
    While PR binutils/29483 has now been addressed differently, this
    originally proposed change still has its merits: Avoiding vsnprintf()
    for typically far more than half of the overall output results in a 2-3%
    performance gain in my testing (with debug builds of objdump, libbfd,
    and libopcodes).
    
    With that part of output no longer using staging_area[], the array also
    doesn't need to be quite as large anymore (the largest presently used
    size is 27, from "64-bit address is disabled").
    
    While limiting the scope of "res" it became apparent that
    - no caller cares about the function's return value,
    - the comment about the return value was wrong,
    - a particular positive return value would have been meaningless to the
      caller.
    Therefore convert the function to return "void" at the same time.
