Subject: [PATCH 036/198] change stop condition to avoid infinite loops
606ea6
606ea6
In net/net.c there is a while (1) that only exits if there is a stop
606ea6
condition and more then 10 packages or if there is no package received.
606ea6
606ea6
If GRUB is idle and enter in this loop, the only condition to leave is
606ea6
if it doesn't have incoming packages. In a network with heavy traffic
606ea6
this never happens.
