[syslinux] "menu quit" entry causing prompt to freeze

Hi,
I had one entry in my main menu which looked like:
label exit
menu label ^Exit menu
menu quit
Now, I did not expect anyone to type: exit on the boot-prompt. But someone
did today and we discovered that isolinux froze (and even ctrl-alt-del did
not cause a reboot).
Unfortunately in this instance we also found that the RSA adapter was not
or incorrectly configured. And we could not remotely reboot the server. :)
So I changed it into:
label -
menu label ^Exit menu
menu quit
However I don't think that such an entry should have this behaviour on the
command prompt. Maybe providing a new prompt would be better in this case ?
Just a thought...
