Thanks. Could you point me at more detailed information about this bug?
I'm using the grub 0.97_3 port for FreeBSD so it would obviously help to
know whether this version is affected or not. All I found was the
following report, but since I'm using what the writer would refer to as
grub1 instead of grub2 and I'm not getting the error message he saw (or
indeed any) from grub itself, I don't imagine this is what you're
referring to:
