Okay, it's good that menu() failures are now logged as errors then. For the longest time, menu() failures would be logged, but not as errors, and then a few years back I accdientally introduced a bug that just silenced all menu() failures. That's now fixed and I'm using the normal sbbs_t::errormsg() function to log the details.
