FIX:  to kernel/mdec/rlboot.s
       In contrast with the other boot programs, this one did not properly
determine whether the program being booted had a header which it should skip.
This change fixes that problem:

       diff kernel/mdec/rlboot.s.old kernel/mdec/rlboot.s
       35,37c35,37
               cmp     (r0),$407
       >       bne     1f
       >       mov     $20,r0

It should be applied to all tapes written before 11/3/81.  Be sure to strip
the resultant object file AND remove its header before installing it in your
boot block.  Otherwise it will be too large to fit in 512 bytes.
