[gPXE-devel] gPXE 1.0.0 eats DNS packets

I just discovered that gPXE 1.0.0 eats DNS packets sent via the UDP
interface.  This is somewhat puzzling to me, since the DNS packet
doesn't even make it out the wire (it would have made more sense if the
reply had been received, but a packet sniffer shows nothing on egress.)
 Removing gPXE (undionly.kkpxe) and running on the raw vendor stack
eliminates this problem.

This is threatening to become a showstopper for Syslinux 4.00, so I
would really appreciate assistance in tracking this down.
