Great news! HDT menu and menu.c32 now share the same codebase to render
graphics (ANSI console). Testing with the latter is useful to check if
a bug is in HDT or in Syslinux libs.

I have closed https://www.hdt-project.org/ticket/24.

For the future, it is always useful to add in a bug report which version
of Syslinux core you are using. When running HDT, you are really touching
two codebases, hdt.c32 and Syslinux core. This is the reason why we always
specify on the website which version of Syslinux you should be using
with the build we provide.

Enjoy HDT!
