Hi Sascha,

  Thanks for reporting this bug.  The problem was that the code in readelf was
assuming that the function which reads in the version information would always
succeed.  As you have shown however this does not always happen.  I have
checked in a patch which fixes this problem (and several other places where the
same assumption was made).

Cheers
  Nick
