OK, will the guilty party please confess to me in private no need to
bother the list :-)

ok. I'll do that.
But I'm not sure it is a good idea to have a common linuxbios.a for both
the compressed image and the initial image. The error was very hard for
people to understand. At least this is what I think is going on, since
symbols from one image were referenced from another, and the only way I
could see this happening was that the 1st and 2nd stage symbols were all
in the one .a
comments?
