Subject: GAS (i86) assembling incorectly

A note to everybody:

  It seems that if you don't specify a opcode suffix, GAS will assemble some 
instructions with the wrong opperand size and not produce any warnings or 
error messages! It gleefully assembled "out %al, %dx" into *outw %ax, 
%dx*.  I suppose it looked at the DX register, ignored the AL regsiter and 
decided to use the 16-bit form.
  Is there anyone I can notify to get this fixed?
