And it does!  Massively!  A little test came down in real time from
24s to 12s, and this is *with* the -fminimal-debug stuff!  No increase
in virtual or resident size was noticeable.

Boy, could we have done with that patch eight months ago...

One little SNAFU: the 'stsize' variable referenced in
symbol_file_command is not declared in that function.  I think
'buffer' was meant.

I guess other people's mileage may vary, but thanks a lot for this
patch, Jim.

Bryan.
