Try checking out the latest binutils sources from the CVS repository. 
It is possible that this bug has already been fixed.

If not, then please could you open an official bug report and include a 
test case which reproduces the problem ?  (A copy of the corrupt test.o 
file would also help as we could examine it ourselves to see what has 
happened to the string table).
