I've been looking more into this, and discovered at least one big
bogon with malloc()'d memory which I've just fixed.  Grab the latest
2.2 or -current bits and build another boot.flp (I'm doing the same).
I'm not sure if I fixed *the* bug (and an examination of all the other
places where I'm squirreling away data doesn't point up anything
further to be obviously suspicious about.

I believe this should also fix Frank Durda's ftp-non-retry bug, though
that will have to be confirmed pending the availability of an updated
boot floppy.

FWIW, I also would be happy to see 1.2MB floppies go as of 2.2-RELEASE.
