Thanks for the patch.  I think that it is small enough to be considered 
as obvious and so not need a copyright assignment.  Thus I have applied 
it together with this ChangeLog entry:

bfd/ChangeLog
2005-07-29  Pavel Kankovsky  <address@hidden>

        * peXXigen.c (pe_print_edata): Compute the size of the export
        table from the size field in the DataDictionary and not the size
        of the section.  Some linkers embed the export table inside a
        larger section.

Cheers
