 No. The correct disassembly is displayed.
 
 BTW, our executable is built such that the code exists in ROM but gets
 copied over to RAM on bootup. The symbols in the ELF file point to the code
 in RAM and NOT ROM. There is no executable code in the RAM region within the
 ELF file.
 
 I think there should be a mode within Insight to read instructions from
 target and not the executable file.
 
 This problem is not a priority for us since the developers are using the
 non-GUI version of GDB under Emacs (I guess you can't teach old dogs new
 tricks).

     There could be any number of problems here.
     
     The command line/console window use different mechanisms to do the
 disassembly: the Source Window reads instructions from the executable file,
 while the console will read from the target. What happens if you do:
     
     $ powerpc-eabi-gdb -nw -nx -q foo.elf
     (gdb) disassemble DeleteChar
     
     Does it also show ".long 0x0"? If not, I'll need a testcase from you.
