Ugh..., found it.

  /* If we are reinitializing, or if we have never loaded syms yet,
     set table to empty.  MAINLINE is cleared so that *_read_psymtab
     functions do not all also re-initialize the psymbol table. */
  if (mainline)
    {
      init_psymbol_list (objfile, 0);
      mainline = 0;
    }
