Compare the start and end address of EVERY (e.g. `SymFindFirst(0,2)') symbol
to the current PC (or some other address known to be inside the current
program). If there's no match, the running program is (probably) an Exec-
string. If there's exactly one match, gotcha! And finally, if there for some
reason are several matches, well, then you should take a real close look at
your algorithm...
