VBox 4.1.22 (Windows host), booting with FAT12 1440KB floppy image, 
ldlinux.sys/.c32 installed with syslinux.exe (pre11 and pre12).

Also tested in VBox 4.1.22 booting with 1GB VHD fixed image in PATA 
primary master, ext3, ldlinux.sys/.c32 installed with EXTLINUX 
5.00-pre12 and MBR from 5.00-pre12.

Using the same type of test, but with 4.06, I get:

LINE 1 OF HELP2.TXTboot:

So the only difference is that in 4.06, the "boot:" prompt is 
displayed after the end of the content, while in 5.00-pre12 the 
"boot:" prompt is displayed always at the beginning of the same line, 
covering the previously displayed text on that line.

TIA,
Ady.
