Hi Eli,

Right now disassemble doesn't work until you've started execution.  Gotta fix that when I get a chance. 

On Mac OS X lldb defaults to assuming it is looking at an x86_64 file.  If you are running it on a 32-bit file you need to explicitly invoke it 'lldb -a i386 filename'.  I don't know if this will hold true on Linux as well.
