Message:

Made it so that mondoarchive aborts when 'mindi --findkernel' gives a
fatal error and outputs mindi's fatal error message in a newt popup.
This should help making it easier for users to get to the core of the
problem in case mindi fails.
(See also Debian bug #352323. Patch adjusted to use asprintf.)
