SubjectOprofile : need to adjust PC by 16 bytes
Very strange results on my Intel E5450 CPU

I found that I have to bias regs->ip by 16 bytes in order to have
correct profiling.

Does it rings a bell to anyone ?

opcontrol --version
opcontrol: oprofile 0.9.4 compiled on Nov 3 2008 06:45:57

Thank you
