[PD-dev] message crash when using menuclose on patch

[Antoine Rousseau]

I just found out that if 2 instances of the same file are opened, sending a
"pd-PatchName.pd menuclose" crashes Pd. I don't know if it is related to
your problem.

If only one instance is opened, crash happens pretty rarely, but it
happens...

see attached test.
