It appears that the RBFG boot floppy (again, sigh) randomly overwrites
the word at address 0x5700 with the value 0x0025.  As luck would have
it, in pxelinux 2.08-pre6 this changed from "harmless" to "catastrophic"
because of a shift in variable addresses.

I have released 2.08-pre8 which avoids using this memory location
completely.

It also changes the filename limit in pxelinux to 127 and the max number
of labels to 64.
