Don't think so, my guess is the decoder started at a non ins boundary
and got confused. "85 d2" is "test %edx, %edx" and is something that
occurs quite frequently in the code. The following 74 is "je", which
makes sense after a "test".

"8b 15 xx xx xx xx" is "movl xx,%edx"

That however does leave us with a 45 unexplained, that's usually part of
a mem argument, its x(%ebp) like stuff.

Dunno really..
