Subject: ldlinux.c32 module only loads default label

Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 22:48:26 +0000

Package: syslinux-common
Version: 3:6.03+dfsg-12
Severity: grave

Given a fairly simple config of:

SERIAL 0 115200
DISPLAY boot.txt
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 250

DEFAULT local
LABEL local
 LOCALBOOT -1

LABEL memtest
 KERNEL mt86plus

it's now impossible to load anything other than the default label.
Hitting tab at the boot: prompt still displays all available labels,
but entering any other label at the prompt always results in execution
of the default.  Reverting syslinux-common to 3:6.03+dfsg-11 resolves
the problem.  Platform in use is amd64.

The only relevant change I can spot in debian/changelog between -11
and -12 is the move to GCC 5. Could it be causing this problem?

Jamie, is it an option for you to rebuild the latest package locally,
after reverting commit 248aa46?

Cheers,

I don't have that kind of time at the moment.
