I had this problem with at least ISOLINUX 4.00-pre58 (and if I remember
right, also with 4.01-pre1) (inside the ISO) and a MEMDISK version around
the same time.

With MEMDISK 4.03 and ISOLINUX 4.02 inside the ISO, the problem doesn't
happen anymore.

A new issue I noticed:
I have a larger screen now, and I noticed that MEMDISK writes various
lines over each other when loading the image. (Maybe the lines on my
screen are bigger than the default and MEMDISK gets confused?)
