Thanks for this information. BTW, have you mentioned this in your first
bug report? I think this patch fixes the bug. 

Ian, this bug happens on ELF/Alpha when you strip more than one shared
libraries at a time. It is not the first bfd_zalloc/bfd_alloc bug in
bfd. It is quite annoying.

	* elf.c (copy_private_bfd_data): Use bfd_zalloc instead of
	bfd_alloc.
