--- Comment #2 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> ---
Hi Hywook4,

  Thanks for reporting this problem.  It was not really a crash, but rather
  a case of the objdump program being tricked into an attempt to allocate
  a huge amount of memory.  This is trapped by the sanitizer, which then
  aborts the program.

  I have checked in a patch to catch the problem before malloc() is called,
  and instead issue an error message, before allowing the program to 
  continue.

Cheers
  Nick
