Mr. Lu,
	Hi!  I have a problem to report with binutil-2.9's
strip on hppa-1.1-hpux10.20.  It seems to destory
shared libraries, it's alright for executables.

sunburst$ uname -a
HP-UX sunburst B.10.20 C 9000/778 2005197566 32-user license
sunburst$ ls -al /usr/lib/libfcman.sl
-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin        bin        1685493 Jul 28 10:25 /usr/lib/libfcman.sl
sunburst$ chatr FCInstall
 ---snipped---
         shared library list:

             dynamic   /usr/lib/libfcman1.sl
             dynamic   /usr/lib/libstd.1

Memory fault(coredump)


This can easily be produced with by stripping any other program's
shared libraries. I am pretty sure this bug existed in 2.9.1 series too.
In programs like eggdrop which it dynamic loads stripped shared library,
it hangs.

Thanks,
Sammy Yu
