<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The version of edb in padb, which matches the one currently shipped by Vega, doesn't work (specifically, queue extraction doesn't work since the elf reading code can no longer find elan_base). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The issue seems to be that libelan4.so no longer has a DT_HASH, so you have to walk the symbol table in a linear manner. It was also running into a DT_HASH it couldn't work with in an unnamed dynamic section. The new code just skips unnamed sections since they never contain what we want.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm not sure the new code is 100% correct, but it seems to work unlike what was there before. Comments off people who understand elf structures better very welcome.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">These fixes should find their way into the next Vega release unless problems with them are found.</FONT>
