>Description:
When I load a file which has size over 512byte by "load" command, fail the command with error message "Memory access error while loading section %s."

This message is outputed at symfile.c:1499, when the valiable "err" is set to != 0 in the function "target_write_memory_partial".
However, if the routine in the function "target_write_memory_partial" branch off to "target_xfer_partial", "err" is not setted.
So, the "err" is refferd without initialization at symfile.c:1457.

(symfile.c revision 1.162)
