I don't think call_data specifies a position, but it may be by chance
that things work correctly in many cases where item == NULL by
assuming it does.

You will have to figure out what wv->call_data and item represent by
studying the rest of the code. My memory is sketchy, but I think that
item can be NULL for menu titles and separator lines. In the title
case, wv->call_data might be NULL as well, so your modified code does
the right thing even though the assumptions behind it are wrong,
since titles are at position 0. But I am not sure what happens in the
separator case.

I think this part of your interpretation is correct.

Thanks for tracking this down.
