Well, since I made strip(1) do that (based on a path from Thomas
Eberhardt, which wasn't quite as aggressive), I suppose I should
comment.

When a file is truncated, the pager is supposed to zero-fill it.
That's what it has always done as far as I know, and that's certainly
what I would expect.

Now, I could probably adjust the data and bss sizes, except that they
need to align on a page boundary.

Alternatively, Emacs could be modified to deal with it; it certainly
wouldn't be very hard to do.
