Hi Eric,

Could you please perform similar tests with official Syslinux 
5.02-pre{3,2,1}?

 https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/5.02/ 

 The intention is to narrow down the problematic commit(s) by 
identifying which pre-release is the last to work correctly and the 
first with a different behavior.

As usual, please use the pre-built binaries from each archive, all 
from the same respective version as each pxelinux.0 to be tested, 
including ldlinux.c32, lib*.c32 and any additional c32 module.

TIA,
Ady.
