Hi Jonathan,

  This is a documentation error.  You need to call bfd_check_format() on
  each element in the archive before attempting to process it.  Ie your
  code should look like this:

    while ((file = bfd_openr_next_archived_file(archive, file)) != NULL) {
        printf("File: %s\n", file->filename);

        if (! bfd_check_format (file, bfd_object))
                break;

        long storage_needed = bfd_get_symtab_upper_bound(file);
        printf("  symbol table: %li bytes\n", storage_needed);
    }

  I have checked in a small patch to update the documentation.

Cheers
  Nick
