Hello,

 In syslinux-6.04-pre, there's a fix for gcc5 about not returning local pointer. (https://repo.or.cz/syslinux.git/commit/8dc6d758b564a1ccc44c3ae11f265d43628219ce). This fix introduce a bug visible in two ways.

After typing a 'bogus' label/kernel at the boot prompt: pressing ENTER on the next prompt result in using 'bogus' again instead of booting the default, pressing TAB on the next prompt result in the completion of 'bogus' instead of completing all.

Regards,
Dany
