configs that make my Mac crash

Steps to reproduce:

1. cat > small.cfg << EOF
linux (hd,2)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
initrd (hd,2)/initrd-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4.img
EOF

2. cat > title.cfg << EOF
title linux
linux (hd,2)/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
        initrd (hd,2)/initrd-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4.img
EOF

3. start GRUB in rescue mode (i.e. no accessible grub.cfg)
4. run 'configfile <dev>/small.cfg' and then 'boot'
        Crash OF.
5. run 'configfile <dev>/title.cfg'.
Worse crash, overwriting my screen with OF garbage. Marco, if you can reproduce on Pegasos perhaps you will be able to capture the full log (try with 'set debug=all').

I've been messing with these for a couple hours and getting nowhere.

I've just recorded a video clip with a digital camera, and it appears the the crash is occuring after the config file has been completely loaded. I see "GNU GRUB version 1.90" redrawn on the screen, then the crash.
