gdb helped me to find out:
The crash comes with the gtk_accel_group_add statements. For example for TBitBtn. Probably the accelerators were not released, when the widgets were destroyed or the accelerator changes. Probably the people who implemented the accelerator stuff have an idea where to start.

Yeah, very useful unit. Although I wish, some of the internal variables/procs would be readable via functions in the interface. Like getmem_cnt.
