Hi,
I do intend to follow up on this; however, due to Christmas holidays and

I found another bug. For some reason grub-reboot ( the utility )
checks if prev_saved_entry ( which has just been set equal to

unsets it. This makes grub-reboot again equivalent to
grub-set-default the first time you use it.
