When you say symtab, do you mean symtab or symtab?  That is the symbol 
table information found in the object file or the symtab structure 
inside of GDB?

Was the splitting of hpread.c into two parts logical or arbitrary?  I 
mean, did it actually achieve anything or are the two halves still 
totally entangled.

Anyway, your call :-)

I've several suggestions.  However, given that most of them involve some 
form of physical violence using a rolled up printout of that file, I'd 
better not mention them here :-)
