In looking at the output of gdb's disassembler on a ns32k executable, I
discovered that it doesn't correctly disassemble many of the
instructions.

For the `movsu', `movus', and `or' instructions, it was correctly
advancing the pc, but only printing the second operand.  It turned out
that the opcode table in ns32k-opcode.h has a `1' some places where it
should have a `2'.

This bug makes me wonder, has anyone actually *used* gdb on a ns32k?

Anyway, the fix is simple, here's the `diff -c1' output.
