Subject: Minor syslinux menu system bug report

Sorry for the intrusion, I know authors dislike receiving direct e-mail, 
but I couldn't see bug report submission info at the syslinux website.

This bug report is for syslinux 4.05 and affects both menu.c32 and 
vesamenu.c32:

   If the very last item in a (sub)menu is disabled, you can nonetheless 
select it by pressing the arrow keys.

This situation might arise for example if one were to include disabled 
messages at the bottom of a menu that are supposed to apply to the 
entire menu and might be preferred in the menu rather than in 
item-specific help text, e.g., "WARNING: These DBAN images will erase 
your data!"

Thanks you.
Alexander Perlis
