Hi Dmytro,

Not really - You could argue that since the __dbe_table section has 0 
length it obviously does not contain any notes, and hence changing its 
type is wrong.  But I think that this is stretching things.  If a 
section has zero length then its type is probably not going to be 
significant, so really I do not see this as being a real problem.

Cheers
