in order to handle (well, to read them) DSF (Debug Symbol File) and STB (Symbol Table File), vms-alpha.c
required two minor fixes.  One of them fixes in fact a real bug that could appear also with object files.

DSFs have image file format, which is an unstructured (binary) file - disk blocks aka fixed size records of 512 bytes. They have an image header, which points to the debug information. STB files have object file format, which is an record structured (binary) file.

Reading with alpha_vms_object_p seems OK for the STB files but looks strange for the DSFs.
