speedbar throws error

Hello,

A few days ago I updated my xemacs21 (debian testing) packages and now my 
speedbar throws an error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

Ok, so normalize-menu-item-name expects at least one parameter.

I suspect some version mismatch in the debian packages (or a bug in

XEmacs's easy-menu.el was known broken until a few weeks ago.  Try
getting a copy from the most recent version for your version of XEmacs
from http://cvs.xemacs.org/, which has a ViewCVS installed.

Check using diff to see if it's different from what you have
installed.  If it is, you'll probably be able to load that and win.

I don't think easy-menu is preloaded in the binary, but if it is, you
either have to redump XEmacs (which is probably easiest with a full
build) or load it explicitly (eg, in init.el) to override the dumped
version.

HTH, if not, feel free to post to xemacs-beta as an XEmacs bug.
