There appears to be a bug in the HFS+ code. MOL uses this
code to load the 'MacOS ROM' file from the HFS+ partition
(it isn't used once MacOS starts booting though).

I'd like to track down this bug (I have never seen in myself,
but it has been reported a few times one the list). Could you
mail me the mol binary off list? Preferably the one which
still has symbols (/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/mol-0.9.64/src/mol
should do).

I recommend you use Apple's disk utility to make sure there 
are no errors on your disk and then try again. I'm not sure
the HFS+ code handles inconsistencies very well. If 
that doesn't work, copy the MacOS ROM file from your
System Folder to the linux side and add 

	newworld_rom:   /path/to/the/file

to /etc/mol/molrc.macos.
