Do you set segments' p_paddr (physical address) correctly? The current version of ELF support uses p_vaddr (virtual address) for simplicity, as the ELF specification mandates loadable program's segments to be ordered by an ascending value of their p_vaddr. I'll fix the program to use p_paddr instead. The difference is insignificant for the DECstation since its firmware uses virtual addresses -- MIPS never exposes physical addresses to a program (well, almost, but that's irrelevant here).
