invalid string offset for section `.strtab'
See original GitHub issueWhen connecting GEF to the decompiler, gdb fails to add-symbol-file and throws an error.
BFD: /tmp/tmp3pmay68f.c.debug: invalid string offset 16777215 >= 282 for section '.strtab'
Although this does not break decomp2gef, it causes the debugger to be without a symbol file and hence renders some features unusable.
Sample binary with this behavior: sample_program.zip

Without full triage, I think this may be related to #15. Will resolve #15 first then circle back to this.
