WinXP; R 1.9.0 running under Rgui.exe.

winMenuAdd calls via my .Rprofile file do not seem to work and, instead, result
in the following error message after the R GUI starts:

   Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : couldn't find function "winMenuAdd"

Any subsequent calls to winMenuAdd from the R console GUI window work fine.  The
same Rprofile works fine under R 1.8.1.  Bug report #2817 describes a similar
problem that occurred with R 1.7.0.
