Testing on Fedora 26 x86_64. This patch has no effect on the LLDB testsuite.
With my later DWZ patch applied I would get the following error without this patch:
59 "{0x%8.8x}: invalid abbreviation code %u, please file a bug and " 60 "attach the file at the start of this error message", 61 m_offset, (unsigned)abbr_idx);
Also I find it somehow obvious. Sorry for no extra testcase.
