Subject: [PATCH 036/143] change stop condition to avoid infinite loops
0dc71c
0dc71c
In net/net.c there is a while (1) that only exits if there is a stop
0dc71c
condition and more then 10 packages or if there is no package received.
0dc71c
0dc71c
If GRUB is idle and enter in this loop, the only condition to leave is
0dc71c
if it doesn't have incoming packages. In a network with heavy traffic
0dc71c
this never happens.
