And I forgot to mention...

I can easily misunderstand the change in handle_riprel_insn(), but it
seems that since you removed memmove(cursor, ...) the changed insn has
the same lenghth as the original insn?

If yes,

	- the patch is wrong, it breaks the "correction" logic

	- but, at the same time, we can simplify this logic and
	  just kill the "long *correction" arg of riprel_post_xol.

Oleg.
