[patch] Check Section Table in Loader component


I've committed the attached patch which checks that the section table has been allocated in the loader before attempting to use it. This can happen for ports which initialize memory before the program is loaded.

	* elfload.c (textSectionAddress): Check section table before accessing.
	* compLoader.cxx (loader_probe_bus): Initialize section_table.
