Run gmenu with the --disable-crash-dialog option.  That will give you
a core file.  When you get the core file, use gdb to see where things
went wrong.  Run "gdb core gmenu", and at the gdb prompt give gdb the
command "where".  The resulting backtrace should provide a hint as to
what the problem is.
