[erlang-bugs] [R13B02] Error message and duplicate menu item after debugger:start() on Mac OS X 10.6.1

[Dan Gudmundsson]

I have fixed some issues (e.g. the help menu) in the 'dgud/dbg_mac_menu' branch.

And as I said in the mail off the list (reply-all is hard to remember)
we can't do much about the menu warning.
Mac's don't like gui's from console programs, but I don't think it's a
real problem
I havn't seen any crashes that I think is caused by that.
