Tormod,

I've added your updates and recompiled os9.exe. It does not correct the 248 
errors I'm seeing. :(

You changed libcocoopen.c but I think that is for decb.exe. I think the 
correction you need is in librbf on librbfopen.c as that is used by os9.exe.
I could be very wrong as I'm not that good with the Toolshed language. :)
