Subject: serial segfault

Hello All,

I just instelled grub-0.90 and weirdness started to happen...

grub > configfile (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst
Segmentation Fault

I narrowed it down to be the following 2 lines:

serial --speed=57600
terminal --timeout=5 console serial

If i comment them out everything works fine.

Now, if i fire up grub CLI
grub> terminal
console

grub> terminal serial
Segmentation fault

Once again:

grub> serial --speed=57600

Error 30: Invalid argument

grub> serial


Error 30: Invalid argument

grub> 


After thet i downgraded to grub-0.59.1
and was really surprised to see that the problem still there, even though
it used to work before upgrade.

I reinstalled all the stage files but the problem still there.

Does anyone know what causes that ? And no i did NOT use --disable-serial

Btw, whis is what gdb tells me
