  Ok, I'll fix this.  I was hoping boot-floppies would use snarf
  for fetching files, instead of the http-fetch stuff.  Since I have
  seen no action on this front, I'll cleanup http-fetch (in this
  case probably server status line parsing).

  A new root.bin should appear later today on the same site.

  Cheers, Marcel
