[syslinux] maximum number of characters in APPEND

Hi,
I wonder whether there is a maximum number of characters you can use for 
the APPEND label.

I am using the following options:

append initrd=initrd.gz load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 
ramdisk_size=10000 rw root=/dev/ram0 video=matrox:off video=aty128fb:off 
video=atyfb:off video=radeon:off video=rivafb:off video=sisfb:off 
video=hgafb:off video=tridentfb:off video=vesa:on video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr 
vga=0x312 LABEL=MoviX

and the system does not know the variable LABEL after the boot.
I tried to put the option "LABEL=MoviX" closer to "append" and that way 
it works,
so something strage is happening...

Thanks,
 Roberto De Leo
