Sorry, from Werner's remark "strdup() can return NULL if the system is low
at or out of memory" I (apparently wrongfully) assumed that your answer
was going in that direction.

Well, the actual fix for the initial problem was the
mising check for noneString != NULL.
With the new "NoneString" parameter of cMenuEditChanItem we could do
cMenuEditTranItem::cMenuEditTranItem(const char *Name, int *Value, int *Source)
:cMenuEditChanItem(Name, &number, "-")
so that there is actually a visible indication that no transponder
for setting the time has been selected , yet. Automatically setting the
transponder to the first available one is IMHO not a good idea - I prefer
to have the user explicitly select his/her poison ;-).

Well, in that case the system time will no longer be set, because
ISTRANSPONDER(Transponder(), Setup.TimeTransponder) will never match.
And when the user opens the setup menu, the "Use time from transponder"
entry will be empty (or "-" with the above change).
