Hi Dom,
I'll look into this. I can see the problem. We can load the
menu's into memory very early. I think the issue is attempting to
rebuild the menu's with no defined a frames. It might solved with a
simple "if frame exists" test in the plugin loader. It should not be too
hard to find a solution.
Cheers
Martin
