[U-Boot] Problem while uncompressing kernel image in u-boot

Hello all,
I am working on MPC8313 processor with u-boot-1.3.0 I am noticing a problem while uncompressing the kernel images. while uncompressing, it would just reset the processor without any error message.
I tried loading in different address for the kernel image, but didnt work. I thought it could be a problem with the gunzip code in the u-boot.
I tried linking with zlib present in the ltib(Linux target image builder) which is ported to the MPC83xx, but didnt help. I also linked with the Kernel's zlib(arch/powerpc/boot) files, didnt work either.
Kernel version 2.6.23 did anybody faced with this problem before?
Any ideas or suggesstions are appreciated. I have pasted the output here.

Yes. I saw that problem, and fixed it in commit c123098035be8bae3859bbfbd06861f197c07631, which was over 2 years ago. Your U-Boot is even older. Please upgrade.
Upgrade your kernel too while you're at it. :-)
