Yeah - I don't see these as being serious.  An infinite loop would be a
problem, but a long loop is, well not brilliant, but OK for now.  At some point
in the future I will investigate and fix them, but right now I am concentrating
on possible security flaws.

I tried that file, but I could not find a fault.  Either with valgrind or
address sanitizer.  I have recently updated the readelf sources though, so
maybe that fixes the problem that you encountered.

Cheers
