Can anyone tell me why g++ places virtual function tables into
the .data segment?

I was very surprized to find out that this was the case.  Up until
today, I always believed (naively) that they would be put into the
.text segment since they are (should be?) read-only.

Is something going on with vtables that I don't know about?

Please excuse me if my ignorance is showing.
