Well, at least it's not just me. =)
I've been seeing this with 2.4.1 on both Assabet/Neponset and Spot for
several weeks now, and thought that I just had bad luck or something. I've
discovered that if I change the bits that get linked/compressed/downloaded
in some slight way (add some code, change the configuration slightly), it
goes away. Note that I've also seen errors regarding a bad CRC, and an
invalid length at this stage, and this seems amenable to the same solution.
Since the behavior is generally reproducible across successive downloads of
the same image, I'm tempted to think that if this is a software bug, it may
be in the link or kernel image compression stages. If it were just CRC
corruption, I'd first blame the bootloader, but this seems like general
compression header damage. Perhaps if anyone else has observed this
recently, they might comment so that we can narrow the search.
