Doesn't work in UTF-8 locales #1

The calls to grep in the script do not find the byte sequences in a UTF-8 locale as the zImage file gets treated as a text file in the current locale. A workaround is to run the script in the C (or POSIX) locale. A fix is to prepend LANG=C to the grep commands in the script.

Thank you for the feedback @ian-abbott! If you have a suggestion on how to incorporate this fix, please provide it via a pull request, or replying to this thread with a patch.
