the bug is in the file: binutils-2.20/gprof/corefile.c
in the function: static int num_of_syms_in (FILE * f)
line 520: while (!feof (f) && fgets (buf, sizeof (buf), f))
this is wrong! because the type of buf is char *, so sizeof(buf)=4
this would cause segmentation fault when use --external-symbol-table option.
it should be changed to : while (!feof (f) && fgets (buf, BUFSIZE - 1, f))
