I recently found an issue where an elf pheader mapping both a .data and a
.bss segment would have its MemSiz ignored and only FileSiz bytes would end
up in the memory map. The bug is exhibiting when an elf interpreter isn't
available on the system. I've attached the output of readelf for such a file
and a patch against the git repository that fixes the problem.
Comments on the patch solicited, I'm also unclear on the commit flow for the
project.
