Hi pcb developers,

there's a translate_accelerator() in ghid-main-menu.c; it loops through
a table to replace keywords with other keywords. Unfortunately when a 
keyword is not found, and the Message() is thrown, the text pointer is not 
modified and the loop restarts at the same position. This leads to an 
infinite loop when the first word is not recognized. I could reproduce 
this with replacing "Shift" with "random" in gpcb-menu.res - pcb hanged 
during startup.

I am not sure about git versions, but looking at the source 
code of pcb-20140316, it seems to be affected.

Regards,

Igor2
