Hi Alan,

You are correct.  som_bfd_copy_private_section_data() is called once for the
subspace $DATA$.  This code is problematic:

  /* Reparent if necessary.  */
  if (som_section_data (osection)->copy_data->container)
    som_section_data (osection)->copy_data->container =
      som_section_data (osection)->copy_data->container->output_section;

After the memcpy, som_section_data (osection)->copy_data->container points to
the asection for $PRIVATE$.

som_section_data(osection)->copy_data->container->output_section is NULL.

Setting som_section_data (osection)->copy_data->container to NULL causes the
segmentation fault in som_is_space().  It is inlined in som_prep_headers().
osection no longer points to a valid space or subspace.  isection pointed
to a valid subspace.

If som_is_space() and som_is_subspace() are modified to return false when
the container is NULL, the output doesn't contain $PRIVATE$ and $DATA$, and
the test fails.

I'm thinking we need to copy both the containing space for $DATA$ and $DATA$.
