Suckerfish does not display on 403/404 error pages [#368830]

As the title says, the suckerfish menu does not display on 403 and 404 error pages. If a user is directed to a "requested page not found", the top navigation menu disappears. I would think the primary site navigation should be consistent at all times, even when an error page is presented.

This is being used in conjunction with the Drupal CustomError module. I have never had the navigation disappear with other themes when using CustomError.

My workaround was to find the ID of the menu I display in the suckerfish area:

Then add code to display that menu if the $suckerfish_menu variable isn't set (wrapping it with the same suckerfish css stuff):
$menuhtml = theme_menu_tree(167);print $menuhtml;
