Endless? loop in vismain test

[Andreas Jaeger]

With binutils 2.9.5.0.24 and gcc 2.96 CVS current on i686 I seem to
get an endless loop with the new vismain test.  Running the test by
hand with LD_DEBUG=all shows:

[...]

`.protected' seems to be handled correctly, good!

And here it stops and does nothing anymore (at least for the last
one and a half minute, I didn't wait much longer) :-(.
