Undefined index

On a new install of drupal 7.x dev dated 5/9 enabling the menu_icons module generates several errors immediately. 1st are the temporary file errors reported earlier: . Then whenever I open any menu item for edit(before I make any changes) the following messages are generated:

Notice: Undefined index: menu_icon in menu_icons_form_alter() (line 46 of /Users/rocks/Sites/dru0509/sites/all/modules/menu_icons/menu_icons.module).
Notice: Undefined index: menu_icon in menu_icons_form_alter() (line 57 of /Users/rocks/Sites/dru0509/sites/all/modules/menu_icons/menu_icons.module).

It looks like 'function menu_icons_form_alter' uses $option variables that won't exist until a menu item is actually modified to use icons. Of course, once they are created they are there forever, for that menu item, and the error disappears, but just for that menu item.
