 * Name: symtab_findorderedbyvalue
 *
 * Description:
 *   Find the symbol in the symbol table whose value closest (but not greater
 *   than), the provided value. This version assumes that table is ordered
 *   with respect to symbol name.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   A reference to the symbol table entry if an entry with the matching
 *   name is found; NULL is returned if the entry is not found.
