In annotate_browser__mark_jump_targets

702                     dlt = browser->offsets[dl->ops.target];
703                     bdlt = disasm_line__browser(dlt);
704                     bdlt->jump_target = true;
705             }
706
707     }

(gdb) p size
$5 = 2415
(gdb) p offset
$6 = 140
(gdb) p dl->ops.target
$7 = 143
(gdb) p browser->offsets[143]
$8 = (struct disasm_line *) 0x0
(gdb) p dl->name
$9 = 0x2363bd0 "je"
(gdb)

Really strange, the code assumed that at the jump target we would have
an assembly line, but only in the previous instruction offset we have a
'lock':

(gdb) p browser->offsets[144]
$10 = (struct disasm_line *) 0x0
(gdb) p browser->offsets[142]
$11 = (struct disasm_line *) 0x27bd620
(gdb) p browser->offsets[142]->name
$12 = 0x237a8a0 "lock"
(gdb)

I'll study this more, but for now I'll just check if there is a
disasm_line at dl->ops.target, i.e. a valid jump target.
