Again, the version that was uploaded in March was to fix the problem
reported in this thread.  It's odd that it took a month for someone to
notice a problem if the problem is still there.

The original thread did not have an explanation of what the actual
problem with objdump was so I don't really have any way of investigating
it.  Yaakov, can you explain what you think the problem is?
