RE: [PATCH] Fix chainloding + Chainloading into logical partitions

Hello!
But I am. It is better that we fix these numerous bugs and probably does
reorganize the code at the same time; then allowing this to persist and
probably explode into a mess that causes undo upset to a user who's got no
idea as to how to fix it if he can.

Just like I am not comfortable with people persisting in posting their
messages to this list using a so called digital signature file, and causing
a nuisance amongst us who run primitive scanning tools who mistake it for a
binary thing behind the viruses. (Those same messages also arrive in ugly
UTF-7 or UTF-8 as well.)
