I've just rebuilt 1.96+20080724-5 with --enable-grub-fstest

grub-setup fails in exactly the same way, however grub-fstest seems to 
have no problem at all with the new core.img:
root at emallcut-x:~# grub-fstest -vvv /dev/sda1 cmp /grub/core.img \
/boot/grub/core.img; echo $?
0

Am I using grub-fstest wrong or does this imply grub-setup is broken?

I'll try the latest upstream next I guess.

Thanks,
