That code looks vaguely familiar. Yup, I wrote it back in 1999 when doing
the original support for PA64 ELF.
Unfortunately, I don't recall the range of potential bogus values that might
appear in the SHLINK field of the .dynamic section.
If possible, we should use the same work-around in both hunks of code.
