I: [PATCH] strings section handling fix

Subject: I: [PATCH] strings section handling fix

Hi,

The strings utility may mishandle a file if it finds a section with
enormously large size.  In this case, strings attempts to allocate
memory and dies due to OOM.

Original bugreport and test cases could be found at
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5871

Proposed fix is attached.
