I'm not a CTF expert but I read through the patches and it seems basically fine to me.

We've since discussed this in a different thread, where we contemplated putting the compunit_symtabs elsewhere. The "bad" scenarios (which I think are just performance and not correctness -related) only seem possible if "always-read-ctf" is set. Which presumably few people really do. Tom
