"Error: RemoteString past end of file" can indicate a broken/damages
changes file.

It does when I get the error, at least. Usually that happens when I
have to hard-kill an image that's stored state in the changes file.
Restarting the image means there's a mismatch somehow in the state
between the image and the changes file. Once you get one of these
you're nearly completely hosed: you can't file things out, for
instance.
