[PATCH v2] Bug fix to ELF Loader which rejects valid ELFs

["Burrow, Ryan - 0553 - MITLL" <Ryan.Burrow@ll.mit.edu>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 938 bytes --]

Check was incorrectly being applied to size of elf phdrs, instead
of the number. The ELF standard allows for up to 65535 headers, but
the check was being compared to the number of headers multiplied by
the size of a program header.
