It’s worth noting that ARC is no panacea.  It will not magically solve all of the problems we have with memory management.

That one issue in December was due to deallocation of NSPopUpButtonCell
causing to call -[synchronizeTitleAndSelectedItem] followed with
updating
of the _menuItem, its _menu  and all dependants (validators) where
the segfault occurs because one of the validators has been deallocated
already.

May be doing that is excessive in the context  of deallocation?

The attached patch changes the -[dealloc] to do the code chunk
equivalent to -[setMenu:nil]
avoiding that -[NSPopUpButtonCell synchronizeTitleAndSelectedItem] and
following.
