jumps to middle of x86 instructions ?

[John Fine]

gdb has no generic way to know where instructions start.  The jump to 
6c00a is jumping to the beginning of an instruction, not the middle.  
The disassembly of instructions at 6c007, 6c009, 6c00f and 6c011 are all 
incorrect.  Those are all middles of instructions, not beginnings of 
instructions.
