[syslinux] Disk error 01: AX=4200, drive 82

Neah, doesn't help, all this is with 2.04 version:
# grep "use bytes" /usr/bin/ppmtolss16
eval { use bytes; };
# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
# pngtopnm /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps/syslinux-splash.png 
|/usr/bin/ppmtolss16 >/dev/null
/usr/bin/ppmtolss16: Premature EOF at (319,212) of (640,256)
# export LANG=en_US
# pngtopnm /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps/syslinux-splash.png 
|/usr/bin/ppmtolss16 >/dev/null
163840 pixels, 5364 bytes, (93.45% compression)

It's probably just a redhat 9 perl problem, some other programs are also 
seeing weird bugs related to language settings and in some of those 
cases redhat has issued rawhide perl revisions to try to fix them.
