It fails usually when you have only one floppy hooked up. It
usually works with more than one floppy. The error returned is a wrong
length error (the length-check of the data depends on a value in a specific
memory location, which usually ends up in the 2nd trackdisk's buffer space).
It is not fixed by setpatch. It is, of course, fixed in 2.0.
