As long as you call ClearMenuStrip() before you call CloseWindow(),
you'll be fine.  Also, if you're sharing an IDCMP port between
multiple windows, be sure you use CloseWindowSafely() (the code
for which can be found in the CloseWindow() autodoc).

If it's not the above, then you should scour your code for other
differences.
