[RFC] mdebugread.c: Fix IRIX segfault

[Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com>]

I recently discovered that a simple "Hello, world" program would cause
gdb to segfault when compiled with the Irix compiler for the o32 ABI. 
The change which cause this breakage in gdb is due to Joel's Jan 3
change to mdebugread.c.

It appears that the symbols in my o32 Irix binary don't use the
convention that Joel is relying upon to terminate the loop which
counts the fields.  However, it does appear that simply looking for an
iss of 0 is sufficient to terminate the search.  The documentation
that I've been able to locate about mdebug indicates that index 0 in
in the string tables will be the null string.  I'm using David
Anderson's doc dated August 30, 1995.

Any comments on the following patch?

mdebugread.c is maintainerless, right?  If not, I'll need approval from
the maintainer to check this in.

	* mdebugread.c (parse_symbol): For stEnd, we're done counting
	when iss is 0.
