I'm really not that interested in the credit.  As long as it works as it 
should (or in this case, as expected since it's not documented :).

But ok, I applied your patches and then redid my fix to w32menu.c.  I 
therefore made a patch on top of your patch (which is the very thing I had 
a problem with myself before, but I don't think it would have been a good 
idea to make yet another complete new diff to 19.34.2).

Anyway, the patch is very localized so is also easy to apply manually to 
whatever revision of the source.

I know this change is to do something undocumented, but I know for a fact 
that OS/2 Emacs behaves this way.  If someone has the possibility to check 
Emacs on Unix please do so, but having this "fixed" definately shouldn't 
be worse than it is now.

Well, I prefer to get these things uuencoded so I'm sure nothing was 
mangled on the way over :)  So here are my patches uuencoded as well:
