[syslinux] PROMPT problem

I have set the PROMPT argument to equal 1 which according to the 
documentation should ALWAYS display the boot: prompt, however after 
updating to syslinux-3.11 to resolve problems with not being able to 
select menu options from the menu.c32 I am now unable to get the display 
prompt prior to the menu appearing.  It automaticly displays the menu 
vs. requiring a keypress.  Here is the default config file contents, any 
help is appreciated.

DEFAULT MyMenu
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 15
ONTIMEOUT BootLocalDisk
ALLOWOPTIONS 0
NOESCAPE 1

MENU MASTER PASSWD <password_omitted>

MENU TITLE Bootable Options:

LABEL MyMenu
        MENU HIDE
        KERNEL pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32

LABEL BootLocalDisk
        MENU LABEL ^BootLocalDisk
        localboot 0

LABEL HardWareDiagnostics
        MENU LABEL ^HardWareDiagnostics
        KERNEL pxelinux.cfg/memdisk
        APPEND initrd=pxelinux.cfg/windows/hwdiag.img

LABEL WindowsBootDisk
        MENU LABEL ^WindowsBootDisk
        KERNEL pxelinux.cfg/memdisk
        APPEND initrd=pxelinux.cfg/windows/bootdisk.img

LABEL SuSELinux
        MENU LABEL ^SuSELinux
        KERNEL pxelinux.cfg/memdisk
        APPEND initrd=pxelinux.cfg/linux/suse.img
