Bug#628864: Seg fault on get_menu_item / Debian Bug#628864: Fldigi fails to start, gives getMenuItem error



I can reproduce the problem on Debian sid, and am investigating now.

Interesting finding:  As a test, I tried installing an old fldigi 3.21.4
binary package onto Debian sid: it works fine.  Then I tried rebuilding
3.21.4 from source on the same Debian sid machine -- the resulting
fldigi 3.21.4 binary then exhibits the exact same C&ountries message and
crash as we're seeing with the 3.21.10 binary package.

Therefore:
 - the problem is tied to the build environment, not the
      fldigi version (but the bug might still be in fldigi).
 - the problem is not related to my 3.21.9 timeframe nls.cxx
      PATH_MAX patch.

I will continue to investigate.
