Bug#412366: texmacs: infloops and sometimes crashes X when accessing menus

[Teemu Ikonen <tpikonen@gmail.com>]

Package: texmacs
Version: 1:1.0.6.8-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

A sure way to crash texmacs 1.0.6.8 from experimental: 

Click on the menu, do not lift the mouse button. Move around with the mouse
in the menu structure. After a while, texmacs starts consuming all the cpu
and X does not allow the focus to be shifted to other windows. Killing
texmacs from the console succeeds, but sometimes X does not recover (i.e.
the screen remains blank when switching back to X) and has to be killed as
well, hence the grave severity.
