Hi Jozef,

The attached patch fixes the above seg fault, and therefore the GDB segfault
with --write, by initializing elf_shstrtab(bfd) when a bfd is opened for update.

I am looking over this patch at the moment, but I do have one question first -
do you - or your employer - have an FSF copyright assignment in place for binutils
contributions ?  If not then we unfortunately will not be able to accept the patch.

If you need details on how to obtain a copyright assignment, I can provide you with
the information that you will need.

Cheers
   Nick


Hi Nick,

I don't have a copyright assignment for Mitto Systems yet, but have now enquired about
getting this set up.
Is this change too large to be accepted without an assignment set up?

Thanks,
Jozef
