Description Eric ter Haar CLA 2005-03-24 09:14:50 EST 
The method getSections() in Elf.java (org.eclipse.cdt.utils.elf) only seeks to
the start of the section headers. It should seek to each section header using
e_shoff + e_shentsize * section_number.
With reading the symbols in loadSymbolsBySection() this is done similarly. It
gives the guarantee that reading the elf file will not fail if the records are
extended, for whatever reason.
