LUA ERROR: memory allocation error: block too big

[Roderick]

- who wants to deal with something low level like the boot loader,
   should be also able to learn a simple programming language.

- Now the whole bootloader had become riddled with problems that hinders
   booting and installation.

-  Unfortunately someone was willing to do the destructive work.

The only possitive thing: only the bootloader was spoiled. One could
spoil the whole system with this posture and argumentation.
