I'll build from CVS and take a look.

The variable 'save-place' is defined in saveplace.el.  In menu-bar.el
it looks like macro 'menu-bar-make-toggle' creates the function
'toggle-save-place-globally' to set/unset that variable, but perhaps
saveplace.el has not been loaded, so the variable is not defined.

Thanks for the report,
