Some issues in scripting support?

Some issues in scripting support?

[Vesa Jääskeläinen]

Hi,

I was playing a bit with grub.cfg and following crashes my vmware
session... :)... I know I didn't remember first that there were
syntaxtical changes in there, but even after correcting my mistake, it
doesn't allow me move it with cursor keys, not in console or in video
mode. Pressing enter correctly changes to video mode as it were first
choice.

--- crashing --
insmod font
font /boot/grub/unifont.pff
insmod terminal
insmod vbe
insmod videoterm

title switch to videoterm
        terminal videoterm

title switch back to console
        terminal console

--- correct ---
insmod font
font /boot/grub/unifont.pff
insmod terminal
insmod vbe
insmod videoterm

menuentry "switch to videoterm" {
        terminal videoterm
}

menuentry "switch back to console" {
        terminal console
}

Thanks,
Vesa Jääskeläinen

Yeah, error handling should be improved considerably.  I found some
other bugs related to this as well.  It's something I planned to work
on after my current networking code is in CVS.
