[Bug 471847] [NEW] Grub2 crashes

[Alasdair Nicol]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

I installed Xubuntu 9.10 from the live CD, and did not make any changes
to Grub

Grub2 is extremely unstable. If I press return on the default option, or
wait for the timeout, Ubuntu successfully boots.

However, Grub crashes for any other input. That is:

* c for command line
* e for edit
* down arrow to select another option

all cause Grub2 to crash.

Below is the Grub version info. Please let me know if you need any other
information.
