If the application "Interface Crashed" dialog is shown at startup, it can cause Application to receive events before it has been fully constructed. In this case the QMainWindow _window pointer is uninitialized, causing Menu::getInstance() to de-reference an invalid pointer. The fix for this is three fold. 1. Construct the QMainWindow before calling setupEssentials (which in turn spawns the "Interface Crashed" dialog). 2. Change Menu::getInstance() from a static_cast to a dynamic_cast. This will cause it to return a nullptr if [QMainWindow::menuBar()](http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qmainwindow.html#menuBar) returns an instance of QMenuBar and not a ui::Menu instance. 3. In Application::event return false if Menu::getInstance() returns a nullptr. This should prevent any code that relies on having a valid ui::Menu instance from running.
