Hi, 
Sorry to jump in so late, but couldn't you just run your game app again
? Split your app into 2, one for the menus, one for the game, and to
restart you can have the game spawn the game again and then exit. (
Maybe has a sleep call at the start just to make sure your other game
instance is dead )

-- Gareth,

-- Way too much overhead for starting a new level.
-- The other suggestion of only a 2nd thread would be smaller, but still
unnecessary overhead.

-- A simple release old level and restore new level works just fine.

-- Just one app, just its thread and a few threads like rendering.

-- And it manages to release very cleanly.

-- And Release + Restore is really a preferable as implementation over
having 2 executables, or even 2 threads.
