   The start menu is no longer copied to the user's record like it used to be when   
   a user is upgraded so that part is normal.  Instead, it now pulls the menu name   
   from their security level and has some different logic.  There is a note about   
   this in the whatsnew for more details.   
      
   I'll try to reproduce it here tonight if I get the time.   
      
   If you want to diagnose more on your side, here are some things to try:   
      
   1) Check logs to see what it says when it can't load the menu.   
   2) Check system config > start menu and confirm the value is what you want   
   3) Check the user's start menu and make sure its actually blank and not a null   
   4) Check the user's security level to make sure there is a start menu defined   
   or that its truly blank and not set to a space or null character.   
      
   The logic is basically:   
      
   If user has a non-blank start menu, use that.   
   If user start menu is blank, then load menu from user's security profile.   
   If user security profile start menu is blank, then load Config > Start Menu   
      
   ... Enter any 12-digit prime number to continue.
