See code around line 1452 in elflink.h. The test there tries to determine if the SHLINK field refers to a section that is not a string table. I guess the question is whether bogus values other than 0 can occur. Dave -- J. David Anglin dave.anglin@nrc.ca National Research Council of Canada (613) 990-0752 (FAX: 952-6605)
