OK.  101 is a reasonable for that variable.  So we're OK at this point.

OK.  Note the wacked out address 0x9de3bf90.  Typically a switch statement
has an indirect jump.  This failure would tend to make me think that we used
a totally bogus value for that indirect jump.

To verify this you should get into type_from_format then do something like

display/i $pc
stepi

And continue with the stepi until you see the current PC address go somewhere
totally bogus like 0x9xxxxxxx.

Mail the output to the list -- it'll be obvious to folks that know sparc
assembler whether or not we got a bogus address for the jump.
