It looks like there's a bug in menu.c32, specifically dealing with the
number of times you change menu pages. When a total (including the
default load) of 28-29 loads of menu.c32 occurs the whole system will
hang (ctrl+alt+del doesn't do anything). Looks like it's a problem
concerning the number of file handles or something along those lines.
The easiest way to duplicate the problem is by creating two txt files
with the following:
---------
even.txt:
---------
MENU TITLE ** EVEN **
LABEL odd
MENU LABEL ODD --->
kernel menu.c32
append odd.txt
-------
odd.txt
-------
MENU TITLE ** ODD **
LABEL even
MENU LABEL EVEN --->
kernel menu.c32
append even.txt
and cycling between them for about 28 times.
