The (u8) cast on the difference of the two eip values in the
subsequent instruction check hides wraps, and hence an
instruction crossing (not ending at) the 4G or 16E boundary
already goes undetected without your change, but your
change extends the issue to a 16-bit instruction crossing the
64k boundary.
