Hi there again !

I found the reason for the strange panic messages when using ccfs. It's
related to the pipe between mkisofs and ccfs.

I've noticed that everytime ccfs uses stdin/stdou to process the files
it gives this warning:

"Warning, number as file string found. Assuming old command syntax and
choosing compatible parameters (-m -B 0). See the usage info (-h)
for better/correct parameters."

Even using "module-builder" the warning is there. I tried to make ccfs
work with files (create the file.iso and then compress it into file.mod)
and it worked. I think it's something related to the block size "65536"
argument passed on the command line. This cause ccfs to use the -m
option which kills my machine :P . It stops and leaves an incomplete
file.mod inside the directory. 

I am using ccfs without pipe and it's working fine. I just wanted to
report this issus as someone else could be in the same situation.

Regards,

Gabriel.
