[syslinux] [PATCH 1/2] msg: VGAFilePtr should be char

[Patrick Masotta]

I checked the code and I see the "bug" is in this line when the pointer VGAFilterPtr is uint16_t*
 *VGAFilePtr++ = data;

Then the change is OK


I have also seen that this change is already included in the patch
quoted previously by Ady

If I were you I'd check the quoted code before sending changes that probably
are already addressed.

Best,
