[U-Boot] Error uncompressing kernel image

Hi all,

I have two JFFS2 images, both with the _same_ kernel inside.

But the images differs in size, cause one is for debugging and has
some additional apps:

debug.im   = 13 MB
release.im = 6.2 MB


Im loading kernel and dtb via fsload:

fsload 2000000 uImage
fsload 4000000 mpc8343.dtb
bootm 2000000 - 4000000


When I use release.im, no problems. But when I use debug.im:

   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... Error: inflateInit2() returned -4
GUNZIP ERROR - must RESET board to recover
Resetting the board.


In u-boot/include/zlib.h:232:

#define Z_MEM_ERROR    (-4)


In u-boot/lib_generic/zlib.c:342: (inflateInit2() function)

--------
  if ((z->state = (struct internal_state FAR *)
       ZALLOC(z,1,sizeof(struct internal_state))) == Z_NULL)

    return Z_MEM_ERROR;
--------

Any ideas why this is happening?

Maybe scanning JFFS2 is consuming a lot of memory?

My board has 128 MB of DDR SDRAM, I think space is not a problem, so
is there a place that I can set for exemple max values for
allocations?

Im using U-boot-1.2.0.

Cheers,
