Does anyone have any idea why such simple functions are broken?  It's easy to 
test...just shut down the DHCP server on your physical network segment and 
watch as a script that is supposed to retry the DHCP request...doesn't.  It 
exits the script every time.

Did a fresh git sync and compiled undionly.kpxe.  Tried it, but got the same 
results.

I don't think so, at least it's not ancient.  I did a git checkout only a month 
ago.  I'll do a fresh download and see if that makes a difference, though.

How recent is your iPXE version?

Could it be ancient enough to simply not support the new scripting features 
yet? It's always a good idea to try the most recent version anyway.
