While I can reproduce Mads' menu problem, I can't reproduce your xml 
problem Mats, your script on a small xml file here works fine in 
8.3.3 and the latest 8.4. (using tclxml-2.1theta)

maybe you can send me your xml file?

The menu problem is different from the old memory deallocation bug, 
it may even be a macos bug, I can also reproduce it whatever the 
memory allocation of Wish, so it's more complicated.

I will look into it but am very busy at the moment, so it may taek a few days.

I don't see this, this sounds like a bug I fixed for 8.3.3 when I 
rewrote the memory allocation and deallocation routines. Are you sure 
you have the latest 8.3.3 installed? (increasing wish's memory 
allocation should fix your bug)

Cheers,

Daniel
