bad gunzip

[Pagnotta, Chris]

I am having difficulty uncompressing the ramdisk. The ramdisk does uncompress 
when I do not have FCC disabled in the kernel and it comes up to the prompt. 
I cannot see how leaving at an option in .config would affect the ramdisk
from uncompressing.

I noticed that the code just hangs in huft_build in lib/inflate.c 
(i.e. just a infinite loop). 

Has someone else has seen this?

I added some debug info, which is illustrated in the output below.
