grub.cfg parser still doesn't abort on error

[Robert Millan]

Try the following grub.cfg:

  cat (memdisk)/non-existant-file
  echo this point should never be reached
  read

You'll see that the echo is reached, even if cat returned an error.

This becomes much worse when found in situations like:

  font (xxx)/some-file.pff
  terminal gfxterm

and the font wasn't loaded.
