I think this has already been solved, and was traced to a bug in DJP. But
another caveat with `strip': At least with the `strip' from Binutils 2.7,
you can't strip a file that has been compiled with stabs debugging. It
results in a bogus binary and instant GPF's. I know that DJP 1.05 can handle
stabs-debugging files made with the 2.7 Binutils.
