This means we can rule out XSync in the error handler.
As you are the one seeing this, I suggest you try to follw the advice in
etc/DEBUG about debugging infinite loops.

45 is X_OpenFont.  The font the menu bar tries to open is
-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1

What happens if you do
% xterm -fn '-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
or
% xfd -fn '-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'
?
