It would be good if you could instrument the relevant parts of load_elf.c
and build a new cdloader, then re-master the CDROM. I am *guessing* that
there is garbage being read from the file. 8(

Correct. I think that somewhere between the CDROM and the loader the
bits are getting mangled. The challenge now is to find out where; I hope
you have a stack of blanks. 8)
