>Description:
After a strip -x the symbol table strings are corrupted.
>How-To-Repeat:
make a kernel with -g and nm the finished netbsd
this fails on a PII with 64 MB and on a diskless 386
I think this should be in Category kern ...
>Fix:
I suspect a problem with mmap, so making strip use read/write
may fix it, but the underlying problem should be fixed.
