bootselect problems

Hi, has anyone tried out Steven James' baremetal toolkit / bootselect and
run into this problem?

I put a 16 byte 'tag' before each payload. My tags have the standard
'$TAG$' beginning, then 0x00 to show that there will be no more additional
16 byte tag blocks on that payload, then four 0x00s because the payload
size is optional, and then 6 characters for the name. Maybe the payload
size isn't option after all?

I got bootselect out of a three month old cvs because it doesn't currently
compile.
