Thanks. It's good to do these sanity checks.

Interesting that this runs (the unstripped version), since the section
flags to .data section is wrong, and that's what is causing the problem
after stripping it.

Believe it or not, I still can't reproduce this behaviour, and so I'm
downloading everything from my site and using the same tools you and
Corinna are using on a native Win98 box (yuk!). More later.

If I can't fix this soon (ie., in a day or so), I'll roll back to my
old trusted 1999-08-08 + and apply local patches.

Thanks for testing these out. I'd rather get the bad news *now* than
later.

Regards,
Mumit
