I've build this version and it works on kernel pieces that failed on the
previous version.

Some casual observations on the program.
1. it does not use fread, and should survive 'large programs'
2. it uses calloc, which while it claims to accept an unsigned int, DOES NOT.
	This limits cv to handling a program of total size =
	32K X 8 == 256K (this is the space occupied by relocatables).

Thank you Johan for both repairing and posting this program.
