A CrashReporter backtrace I still had logged:

When I say crash-on-exit, I mean that the crash occurs after selecting the Quit menu \
item, or closing the main window.

It's almost impossible to debug this kind of situation because an interactive \
debugging session will alter the event flow. It does look like we're dealing only \
with Qt events here, no pending native events that get delivered to ObjC objects. \
Doesn't the menu have its parent set to the action (KSelectAction), and if so, will \
that relationship be broken when the action gets deleted? Because if not, it's the \
menu that could have a dangling pointer to the action, no? Also, remember that using \
deleteLater isn't required to prevent the systematic crash-on-exit. I suppose I could \
try to see if deleting the d-ptr last is the most important change here.

on OS X deep under the <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: \
0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;">delete menu()</code> \
instruction in <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: \
0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: \
inherit;">KSelectAction::~KSelectAction</code>. The backtrace suggested this might be \
due to a pending event (or an event due to the menu deletion) being delivered \
post-mortem to an instance of a QMenu related class.</p> <p style="padding: \
0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">My \
fix is based on 3 principles: 1) release the "foreign" member instance (<code \
style="text-rendering: inherit;color: #4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: \
0;line-height: inherit;">menu()</code>) before releasing the own d-ptr 2) Remove the \
QMenu instance from ourselves before deleting it to have one less potential dangling \
reference to it 3) QMenu is a QObject descendent that corresponds to a UI element: on \
OS X it is safer to dispose these through <code style="text-rendering: inherit;color: \
#4444cc;padding: 0;white-space: normal;margin: 0;line-height: \
inherit;">deleteLater()</code> rather than directly.</p></pre>  </td>

and 2) above already solve the crash issue in kdenlive on OS X, but the general \
principle stands so I suggest keeping 3) in library code like this.</p></pre>  </td>
