[syslinux] ISOLINUX/COM32 Command line

I have a small problem with my COM32 image. It is more related to how
the COM32 images get their arguments. Here are the relavent parts of
my isolinux.cfg

-----
# default image = defimg
default defimg

# Boot automatically after 5 seconds
timeout 50

# By default auto select image. If no autoselect list
# found, then boot into prep
label defimg
         kernel readker.c32
         append prep
----

After the specified timeout, control is transferred to readker.c32
as should be, however readker.c32 behaves as if its commandline
was empty. Instead if I type in "readker.c32 prep" at the boot prompt,
then readker.c32 works as expected.

Have I overlooked something?
