I think the option with --stage2. I never managed to have a result without
it, but you tested it against 0.93 (I'm right?) and this worked (BTW, I 
remember now that I have tested with the option, then for some time
without it and it still worked and one day it ceased to work without being
able to understand what had changed or what environment made it work; try to
test on a vanilla install).

Cheers,
