I just ran into the problem quoted below; however, it was fixed by compiling my kernel with egcs-1.1.2 instead of gcc-2.95.1. My config follows for your perusal. Could this be a problem caught by gcc-2.95.1, or is it just because it takes more work to uncompress the kernel created with gcc-2.95.1? Oh yeah, the kernel in question is 2.2.13pre17.
