The menuMouseButton numbers correspond to the order on which they're 
found on mice that ship with most computers:

1 is the only button on Apple mice, and the left button on mice
   that ship with the other 97.4% of computers
2 is the middle button (Unix) or scroll wheel (Win)
3 is the far-right button

Which button would 0 correspond to?

I'm impressed that you were able to find that bug in the Mac OS API, but 
its obscure nature has me curious: what sort of app needs more than 256 
submenus?  Is that in a single menu, or aggregate across all active 
menus at the time?
