--- Comment #13 from Tobias Stoeckmann <tobias at stoeckmann dot org> ---
The check alone does not prevent the integer overflow in xmalloc()s argument.

I would recommend to bail out when encountering a file that is simply too large
to be sane.

See my proposal for details. In fact, my initial patch got it wrong too,
ignoring the overflow resulting due to multiplication with sizeof (Sym).
