Oh, I agree: I'd be perfectly happy for ksymoops to abandon trying to disassemble the instructions after the oops, and I don't think it need try to disassemble the instructions before the oops either.
It is important that it show the bytes (preferably before and) after the oops, so that an investigator can locate that sequence of bytes in a built object; and it is important that we have some tool (objdump) which can disassemble the built object despite ud2 and its accompanying data; but ksymoops does not need to do it.
