UpdateStringProc should not be invoked for type statekey

Help!

I'm using Tcl and Tk 8.4.5 on a Linux system.

Suddenly, when running my Tcl/Tk/C app bound using mktclapp, I get

UpdateStringProc should not be invoked for type statekey
Aborted

By inserting puts stmts into the tcl code, I think this error message
appears when I execute

menu .mbar.help.menu -tearoff false -font menu_font -title "Help"

I half-expected this error message to be related to a bind command,
but it looks like it's happening inside something else; in the app,
several other menu commands just like this have already executed
(although nothing has yet been displayed). I suspect this happened
as a result of going from 8.4.4 to 8.4.5.

Anyone seen a message like this? Any ideas as to why this would happen?
