I have found it very inconvenient that ddb does not print the address
for repeated examine commands.  It is especially inconvenient for code
because you can not easily see where nearby branches are going.  For
data it is only less convenient.

Other debuggers of this style (such as adb, kadb) print the address for
every line of a disassembly or data dump.  I think ddb should also.

Would anyone object if I made ddb_examine to always print the address?
Here are the exact changes I propose:

+ #endif
  
  			    db_prev = addr;
  			}

  		/*

  		 * XXX it can even be made to emit it (short of .word)

Oh yeah: that last addition was a bug-fix for "brab xxx" disassembly.
