[syslinux] menu.c32 empty label?

[Ryan McLean]

if you suspect it is due to the empty labels why notremove them and see if
you still get the error?

you can also do the following to remove the need for the empty labels, have
4 config files:
1 for the graphics
1 as a to level to allow choice between Normal and debug.
1 for normal
1 for debug

heres an eg:

(these are from pxelinux but should be similar)
