Did you see Mike Frysinger's comment about not changing global
variables ?

I think that I agree with this comment, although I could not find
the raw opcode reading functions to which he was referring, (unless
he meant sim_core_read_buffer), so would you mind trying out this
variation of your patch to see if it works instead ?

Cheers
