Well, you found that menus don't like having - performClick: sent to
them.  I'm very sorry to say that you should not be doing this.  We
here at Ashton Tate ran into the same bug and tried for 2 weeks to 
find some kind of work arround.  The final answer from the next 
guys was "Yes, it's broken, we're sorry, there is no work arround 
because the code that makes menus run is a real nightmare, we'll
try to get it fixed in 2.0"  Sorry that this is the best I could 
offer you, but It appears to be a bug in the MenuCell class
