I also had this problem. Shoelace not only complains when the image is too small
but also when the image is too big. I wanted to use a "Minix with Amoeba" image
but the best version I could get was an image on floppy. So I copied 200K of the
floppy to my HD, patched [shoe.c, 620] to not doing that longjmp and everything
works fine (I also add an extra diagnostic about not longjumping but that's not
important).
