Very strange bug ...

I am suddenly seeing this in a Trusty 64 bits fully updated... the actual address is different, 0x0000000000deb700

I reproduced this bug by adding an additional menuentry in file '/etc/grub.d/40_custom'.

Previous version of the file (no bug):

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.

New version of the file, producing the bug:

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.

menuentry ‘Windows 10 msdos2′ {
set root='(hd0,msdos2)’
chainloader +1
}

Finally, I solved the bug by creating a new file '/etc/grub.d/42_custom' and put the new menuentry there...

Hope this helps.
