It's exactly the minsymbol filename which is set in above mentioned
function and always enclosed with SOFUN_ADDRESS_MAYBE_MISSING.

I found that many symbols get as filename the most recently used
filename (not only write.c) even if it's wrong. It seems like there
are some file symbols missing/not read or in wrong order or whatever.

Apart from one comparison this filename is only used for displaying,
so I guess I shouldn't rely on its content too much. But still...

I leave that for the moment and write in another post about other problems.

Thanks
