Hmmm... I thought that we already handled this case.

The assembly window does not go from line to line. It actually knows what 
PC corresponds to which line in the window. It figures out what line to 
highlight by asking gdb (via gdb_loc) for the location of the PC, and 
then it looks up this PC in an array, which gives it the line number to 
highlight.

This means that either the line number mapping is not correct, gdb_loc is 
not correct, or that Insight _is_ highlighting exactly what it should.

Could you post a copy of the assembly (from the source window) and jot 
down a few notes for us?

I would like to know what happens when you open a console window and type 
"p/x $pc" followed by "stepi" and which line (address) is highlighted in 
the source window. Do this three or four times.
