Thanks - I have applied your patch with a few small tweaks to make it 
more self-documenting.

	* strings.c (filename_and_size_t): New typedef.
	(strings_a_section): Skip sections with size greater or equal to
	the file size.  Cache the file size to avoid repeated stat()s.
	(strings_object_file): Pass filename_and_size_t argument to
	strings_a_section() via bfd_map_over_sections().
