installing the latest version of Grub in Slackware

Hi everyone. There appears to be a bug in the latest version of Grub where if you install it from scratch in Slackware, and then run grub-install /dev/sda, you get an error message "Decompressor is too big".

Here's a thread discussing it. The solution is to revert to an earlier version of Grub; I used 2.00.

Has anyone else come across this problem when installing a recent version of Grub from scratch, in Slackware or another distro?
