[syslinux] problem with isolinux 3.10 & 3.11

I tested the 3.10 preX releases.  pre18 worked fine.  Pre-19 and Pre-20 
would not load the bootmsg text, and hung at the line with isolinux version 
3.10, etc.  I assume this was an unrelated bug.  Pre21 loaded the bootmsg 
text just fine, but the cdrom binary caused 1 of 3 things to happen.  1: it 
would restart the machine when that option was selected 2: it would perform 
a carriage return, type one period and instead of booting it would hang, or 
3: it would show 8-or-so characters of gibberish and halt.
I hope this helps.
Jeff
