Syslinux - Feb 2005 - Problem with simple menu and 3.08pre5, 3.07 works

Hi

A Optiplex GX270 with bios A06 (latest) freezes at the menu when I use 
3.08pre5.
Setup was simple menu (menu.c32) and pxe.

When I tested with 3.07 everything worked as normal. I Have not had any 
problem with 3.08pre5 in other tests and machines.

Also but not that important, I learned that for the hotkey highlight to 
work It must be uppercase for me. If lowercase the goto still works but 
the character isnt highlighted.

I repeated previous tests w 3.07.

1.  #comment wo space is still an error, this time causing additional err:

No LABEL entries found in configuration file!

Ive now found it documented - so nevermind.
syslinux.doc:   A comment line.  The whitespace after the hash mark is 
mandatory.




2.  no attempt to fetch menu.c32.
