Is nobody able to reproduce this? I'm wondering if this is a new class 
of problems in wx2.7 because I'm getting segfaults and illegal 
operations in various places - this was just one place I tracked down. 
It is keeping Dabo from being able to announce support for wx2.7/2.8.

I'll try to get some time to compile and test with the latest preview 
sometime soon, but in the meantime can somebody confirm/deny the 
existence of the problem with wx.MenuItem.Destroy()?

Thanks!
Paul
