really a good question, but as far as I remember, 
someone told me that magic number ...

If you follow the first link in my acknowledgements to Paul 
Hedderly and A V Le Blanc
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2003-07/msg00004.html 
and 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grub/2004-05/msg00099.html)
there is that number, so I assume that I found it there and I
cannot help ...

But I guess wildly that if you compile SBM yourself you will
get some executable image, which is 18K in size ...
