[TYPO3] language menu and realurl (issue with L=0 language)

[Ralph Grier]

Just to provide a little more information as I am debugging,  I have tried
the following,

 NO.additionalParams = &L= || &L=1 || &L=2 || &L=3 || &L=4

and this did not help.  I disabled realurl, and saw the following URL
generated.

http://www.domain.com/index.php?id=43&L=1&L=&L=0

I am confused as to why its generating the L=1 parameter, when 0 is english,
and then why it is generating an L=0 parameter after I unset L.  what I was
hoping to do with my additional params directive for the NO object was to
override the L setting, since realurl generates the correct urls in english
when L= (nothing) and the wrong urls when L=0.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
