I can't test it unfortunately, but it looks like the right thing to
do. I asked on bugs at binutils and was told to upgrade to binutils 2.15
to fix the bad stab generation. Sure enough, this fixes the issue
(which means I can't duplicate this behaviour any more). It also
fixed a bunch of other random crashes in my app; There were obviously
some needed fixes for huge (40 MB in this case) .so generation. 

So perhaps printing a message to upgrade binutils to >=2.15 when the
stabs are found to be corrupted would be appropriate? I'm not sure
how prevalent this version is in the wild (my mdk 10 community uses
2.13).

I'm investigating now to see if debugging works as expected (so far,
so good)

Thanks,
Jon
