It sounds like the symbols in the symbol table don't have valid sizes when they 
really should. What kind of executable are you debugging? A PECOFF file? If so, 
you should take a look at and fix the code in:

Symtab *
ObjectFilePECOFF::GetSymtab()

What we do for mach-o is to parse the symbol table first and then run back 
through all symbols, and any symbol that have a size of zero, set their sizes 
to the delta between the current symbol and the next addressed symbol. Since 
the symbols are usually out of order address wise, we run through all symbols 
that have addresses and add their indexes to a std::vector, then sort the 
vector of address indexes, and then we can do the above fixups.
