I mis-spoke, the one change we could find was:

DosEnv
- size:           16
+ size:           19

So we believe this change to be the cause: 8d113af

Hi limi,

yes the size of the dos env was increased to cover the new fields introduced in AmigaOS 3.x. Namely the number of boot blocks is required to prepare disk images for NetBSD (and most likely other OSes that require large boot blocks).

By providing the size of entries in the dos env AmigaOS provides a good mechanism for compatibility. A driver should query the actual size and accept if there are more entries available than it needs. AmigaOS itself works this way.
Unfortunately, there are drivers in the field that are too strict and expect the size to be exactly their required value and will break with the new size...

For better compatibility here I will adjust the size field only if the new fields are actually used. HDToolBox does it the same way... So things are safe again...
