Ouch .... i hope you dont use this normally... it should be run as a
normal application please !!! In a taskwindow i cant guarantee that the
physical hardware pages wont move (!) ...

Does it has the same behaviour when you just run the *fastboot as an obey
file ? i.e. run the !BtNetBSD application ?

Hmmm... you edited the file / structure of !BtNetBSD ?

ARGH!!!! ..... as you can see here it all messes up ... the blocks are
invalid i.e. 0x140c5000 < 0x14118000 (!!) ... the blocks are not sorted
:(( ... it looks like RO 3.7 is the only one that doesn't sort them ...
but I rather suspect this is the taskwindow really.... that is the bad guy
!

Since it expects the pages to be sorted this all gest wierd and bad :(
