Okay. I just noticed that it's not a bug. spl_image.size is set to
header->ih_size + header_size. So 64 is added and the complete payload
is copied.

I still would like to move to my suggestion to not copy the header and
use the mkimage header values ih_load and ih_ep directly. Right now I
don't see any showstopper for doing it this way. I'll send a patch to
change this shortly (if everything works out).

Stay tuned...

Thanks,
Stefan
