0. emacs -Q
1. Click on the Options menu and check "Error Debugger on Error".
2. Click on any item in the menu bar.
=> Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function nilp)
     (nilp vsb)

This is due to this change:

commit a7e302dc1dc18770aaf9eeedfd638f73b574bc19
Author: Dmitry Antipov <dmantipov <at> yandex.ru>

  Prefer 'frame-parameter' where it is expected to be a bit faster
  
  * lisp/international/mule-diag.el (mule-diag):
  * lisp/menu-bar.el (menu-bar-showhide-scroll-bar-menu):
  * lisp/mouse.el (mouse-drag-line, font-menu-add-default):
  * lisp/scroll-bar.el (toggle-scroll-bar, toggle-horizontal-scroll-bar):
  * lisp/faces.el (x-resolve-font-name): Use 'frame-parameter'.

However, after fixing the typo (nilp -> not) and rebuilding emacs,
executing the above recipe nows displays this error:

   Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable vsb)
     (not vsb)

The patch below fixes this (and the typo).
