Re: [PATCH v2] [BFD] Add support for reading msdos (MZ) executables.

Hi Zebediah,

  Looking good - thanks for the updates.  Please remember however that
  we cannot accept the patch until you have a copyright assignment in
  place.  I can provide you with the details of how to request one if
  you want.

  Also...

  Isn't the external_DOS_hdr structure in this version of the patch larger 
  than the version that was in your original submission ?  (Because of the 
  inclusion of the dos_message field).  If so, does this mean that the code
  might reject valid MZ binaries because they are too small ?

Cheers
