+/*      This test is derived from a C source file which, when compiled by gcc
+	with debugging enabled, managed to create a .debug_str section whose
+	first string was ZLIB_VER_SUBVERSION.   The code in bfd/compress.c
+	used to just check for the characters "ZLIB" at the start of a section
+	and then assume that the section was compressed.  This meant that the BFD
+	library then processed the next 8 bytes as if they were the size of the
+	decompressed version of the section.  Naturally with this test case the	
+	resulting size was gigantic and consequently the library quickly ran out
+	of memory.  */
