Thanks for the report, and apologies for the delay in replying. I've 
just fixed a bug which could cause crashes on Linux (and possibly 
Windows) in 1.9.7 when Frames with MenuBars were closed. It could cause 
problems either on app exit or, if other frames remained open, when 
garbage collection ran.

Hopefully this will address instabilities reported by several users - if 
anyone has the development set up on Linux and can test this with SVN 
head, it would be much appreciated.

Sorry for the trouble
