Without the eval:
i.e.
  state $page_offset = get_page_offset(); # only gets called once

$ ./leaking_addresses.pl  |head -200
Argument "0x80000000" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at ./leaking_addresses.pl line 277.
...

With the 'eval', no warning, it's fine.


Additional Comments:

a) When running in debug mode, print the arch we're currently running on
b) Also, while checking, I found another bug; requires the fix below (strip the filename of LF).

Patch follows:
