The getkernels script has been updated to version 1.4 to fix an intermittent bug that could cause up to 64 bytes to be truncated from the end of a kernel image in some cases (such as the 4.0.1 kernels).

It now adds 64 bytes (the length of the flash header) to the image length extracted from the flash header, before rounding up to the next 1024-byte block size.

Some comments were also added to the script to make it less "obfuscated".

EDIT: Sorry about the delay getting this updated. I thought I updated it a long time ago. That can happen when you have too many projects "in progress".
