The offset for each register should be the offset in the register context data 
buffer, so if the first FPU register currently has 128 as the offset, it 
shouldn't change to zero if that is the correct offset. If you are seeing 
issues and believe the offset should be zero, then the bug is somewhere else 
and needs to be fixed elsewhere. The linux plug-in might be expecting a zero 
based offset for some registers in some locations, but that should all be fixed 
within the RegisterContextLinuxx86_64 class.
