This seems to be caused by a bug in translate_menu_path() in
client/gui-gtk/menu.c, where the code was allocating space for the
untranslated string, but then copying in the translated string.  This could
potentially cause problems for *any* menu item in the Gtk+ client.

I've attached a patch which I believe fixes this problem.
