[PATCH] Fix buffer underrun in i386-dis.c.


When disassembling any instruction without a REX prefix, the print_insn
function touches all_prefixes[-1].  This is usually harmless in most
builds, because the word preceding all_prefixes will probably be the
last_seg_prefix variable and it was usually zero already.  But in some
kinds of builds, all buffer underruns are caught and cause a crash.

AFAICT the obvious local workaround is in fact the proper fix.  In the
similar cases nearby, there is a PREFIX_FOO bit in the "prefixes" bitmask
that guards use of last_foo_prefix.  But there is no such bit for the REX
prefixes.  We could test "rex != 0" instead, I suppose.

OK for trunk and binutils-2.24 branch and gdb-7.7 branch?


Thanks,
Roland
