Duh. Especially as the only use is line 560-562 in src/boot.c:

      de.starthi = CT_LE_W(0);
      de.start = CT_LE_W(0);
      de.size = CT_LE_L(0);

Gotta make sure to use a little endian 0 rather than risk a big-endian one. WTF?

Anyhow ... thanks for the pointer. That fixed my filesystem for me.
