This was a nasty one - the file was stimulating an infinite loop inside 
the code in elf.c between group_signature() and bfd_section_from_shdr(). 
  Anyway I will be checking in the attached patch to catch and prevent 
this occurring in the future.

Cheers

	* elf.c (group_signature): Check for a group section which is
	actually a (corrupt) symbol table section in disguise and prevent
	an infinite loop from occurring.
