Bug#533453: true is not a valid command

[martin f krafft]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090603-2
Severity: normal

When I start grub, I get two errors:

  error: unrecognized number
  error: unknown command `true'

I am not sure where the first comes from, but the second almost
certainly comes from

  if terminal_input serial ; then true ; else

and I can verify that on the command line:

sh:grub> true
error: unknown command `true'

My grub.cfg ist attached.
