I tried the second method twice, breaking at different points to start 
gdb and attach it.  Each time I subsequently returned to the menu 
editor, the dialogue showed no controls except close and 
minimise/maximise.  The close control was unresponsive, so I killed the 
process and quit gdb.

Here is the tail file.
