In that file it seems that both the .img files have the same code-page
and sort-order, so when I specify --code-page=1252 there is no warning.#
It certainly could happen though, and as long as there are no symbols
in the file with the wrong code-page/sort-order then the map will still
work.

What is the crash that you get?

If it is because of mismatched code-pages then it is not unexpected,
that's why there is a warning.  It is just a warning rather than an
error, because sometimes there will not be a problem - perhaps
I should make it an error.
