The problem is that

   XVECTOR (menu_items)->contents[i + MENU_ITEMS_ITEM_EQUIV_KEY];

is now a symbol, but the code (here and in a couple of other places in
xmenu.c, and maybe elsewhere) assumes that it's a string or nil.

It's simple to "fix" by adding an additional check for symbols as menu
descriptors, but we need to understand why the situation has changed.

Stefan, I'm 99% sure this was caused by your keymap changes around
2009-09-11.  Could you please debug them?
