I grabbed a copy of the beta-6 release and ran into a weird problem with menus. I'm not sure when this first popped up during testing but after a time, menu items were being displayed in triplicate. Only the 'create account' and 'my account' entries are displayed correctly (i.e., only once). The duplicate entries do work and take you to the correct place. Also, expanding the 'administer' menu results in all the sub-menu items being displayed in triplicate as well.

The administer -> menus screen is a mess probably due to what ever was causing the above menu snafu. There are three config entries for 'compose tips', two for 'content', three for 'page' and 'story', etc.

My initial test of beta-6 included the image-cvs code so I don't know for sure if that has anything to do with the above. I'll try reinstalling beta-6 from scratch and omit the image module tomorrow evening and see if the menu funny business is still seen.

I suppose it's not too surprising since this is a beta release though I sort of thought that beta-6 was mainly a quick release that included patches for the four security-related problems.

In the meantime, is this a known problem?

... I must be tired. I saw nothing at that node that would appear to help the case of menu items showing up multiple times; just missing menus. I'm off to try a clean beta-6 install from scratch w/o image and see what I get.

I should probably have posted this elsewhere, but the image module seems to have a PostgreSQL-related problem as well:

* warning: pg_query(): Query failed: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "" in /home/drupaltestsite/drupal-4.7.0-beta6/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 84.
* user warning: query: SELECT n.nid, n.vid, n.type, n.status, n.created, n.changed, n.comment, n.promote, n.moderate, n.sticky, r.timestamp AS revision_timestamp, r.title, r.body, r.teaser, r.log, r.format, u.uid, u.name, u.picture, u.data FROM node n INNER JOIN users u ON u.uid = n.uid INNER JOIN node_revisions r ON r.vid = n.vid WHERE n.nid = '' in /home/drupaltestsite/drupal-4.7.0-beta6/includes/database.pgsql.inc on line 103.

At least the first error seems to be the old contraint violation that I've seen in the past: passing a null to a column that's defined as not allowing nulls. These were displayed when following the 'image galleries' link (just beneath 'create content').

... from scratch it seems that the image module was the culprit. Menus seem to be okay w/o it. Rats... though the core stuff seems to be okay, it's definitely back to square one with image.module.
