/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell.el creates a bogus
entry in default-menubar under XEmacs 21 (xemacs21-nomule is what I am
running).
After ispell.el changes the "Kill Process" menu item under Cmds ->
Spell-Check, any attempt to click on the menubar produces the error
"Wrong type argument: stringp, clear" because a symbol is not allowed as
an optional fourth item in a menu specification. I originally
encountered this when using the VM mail reader that is part of
xemacs21-basesupport, and finding that after the first time I ran
vm-compose-mail, the menubar became unusable. However, it seems likely
this affects other Emacs/XEmacs packages as well.
I find that the patch below fixes the issue locally (after I apply it
and recompile ispell.elc). If adding "'clear" to the menu was meant
to accomplish something, that probably needs to be done in some more
portable way. My testing does not suggest that the function of that
menu entry is impaired by removal of "'clear".
