Ok.  So the error is the load_block in osloader.c cannot even identify
the file type.

That is a noticeable corruption.

Looking at the code it was never changed to use allot, because it was
written before relocation.  So it currently puts a magic buffer at the
end of memory and assumes nothing is there.  So I would strongly
recommend disabling relocation when testing it.  And if that works
modifying the code to use allot and forget.  proto_slam.c gets this
correct.
