Looks like there was the old hidden window of okteta hex editor that I forgot to close, and for each rebuild of coreboot.rom okteta's core printed these spooky messages :P Sorry for the false alarm... (although its never wrong to be on high alert)

While building a coreboot now I'm getting this "kasten.core" message (see below), it wasn't like that earlier! Tried to search through all the coreboot sources with ' find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep "kasten" ' but no results! So thats not a new coreboot build script. It almost looks like instantly after I complete a coreboot build, something malicious modifies my coreboot.rom file. Haven't analyzed the .rom yet, I wanted to submit these findings as soon as possible. What do you think? Meanwhile I will take my system offline and remove a hard drive from it, so that someone couldn't remotely delete this backdoor before I find it
