Suspicious code in unexelf.c

[David Kaelbling]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Looking at unexelf.c, I see the following around line 1001:

          || !strcmp ((old_section_names + NEW_SECTION_H (n).sh_name),
                      ".sdata1")
          || !strcmp ((old_section_names + NEW_SECTION_H (n).sh_name),
                      ".data1")
          || !strcmp (old_section_names + NEW_SECTION_H (nn).sh_name,
                      ".sbss"))
        src = (caddr_t) OLD_SECTION_H (n).sh_addr;
      else
        src = old_base + OLD_SECTION_H (n).sh_offset;

Should .sbss really be using "nn" when all the other tests use "n"?
