[syslinux] "Big config file bug" - having problems reproducing it
A few people have reported that the "big config file" bug seems to still exist in 2.00-pre11. Unfortunately I have been unable to reproduce it on my test systems; I have created a very large (~12 K) config file with 120 labels and was able to use it successfully. I specially verified that a label actually crossed the 8K boundary and made sure it could load correctly. I will look at files you have sent me, but please send any config files as *binary attachments* to me privately. I need them as attachments because I suspect that the bug depends on the exact part of the config file that crosses the 8K boundary, and I therefore need to be able to look at them in bytewise detail. -hpa
