Well, got __STRANGE__ news:

- possibly related to the "Crosslink-BUG" (probability not very high ...)
- reproductability as ALWAYS :-)

Most FreeDOS kernels released so far were UPX'ed and not un-UPX'able.
The kernel "almost-2040" included on 1.1test3 CD distro is NOT UPX'ed.
Problem: with UPX'ed kernel, you can't check the version without
booting the kernel.

Not really. I don't think that possible 0.01% improvement about
performance or bloat justifies incompatible versions. Note that
8086-compatible EDR-DOS is faster than FreeDOS. Only the mainstream
needs permanently new processors, just to make things slower
