Syslinux - Jun 2009 - Last character of the boot prompt gone missing ?

Hi,

I think I found a problem with syslinux where if you have an entry in the 
syslinux config file (eg. linux) and you type some additional parameters 
on the boot-prompt (eg. noacpi) the last character of the prompt is cut 
off (and missing from /proc/cmdline).

This does not seem to happen for the append line in the config file, only 
for additional parameters on the boot prompt. (I guess it would have been 
more obvious if it was)

Can someone verify if they see that same problem ?

Nevermind, I hit the boot prompt limit again and funny enough all the 
different scenarios it was only 1 character. I just noticed that it's not 
necessarily so.
