[Lcdproc] lcdproc-0.5.0 segfaults

[Laurent B.]

Yes of course. The client does NOT send menu_set_main "" , to set its 
own menu as the default one (it simpy makes NO use of the menu_set_main 
function at all). After it disconnected from LCDd (0.5.0) I can press 
the menu key to get to the server menu and it actually gets you there 
and , most important, LCDd does not terminate with signal 11 
segmantation fault.
So without touching menu_set_main LCDd works as expected here.
