I have now modified the rclib and rcmenu packages to minimise the
problem. Both are available here

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/rclib.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/rcmenu.tar.gz

or
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/rclib.tar.gz
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/rcmenu.tar.gz

The problem and the solution (which I now realise should have been
in the original design) are described in this plain text file:

Comments welcome.
It's possible that I have missed some bit that still needs fixing.
