I'm actively developing a large codebase that I load every time I use Mathematica. I frequently quit my kernel and reload the codebase to incorporate new changes. I've created a custom menu by editing MenuSetup.tr to include menu items and keyboard shortcuts that allow me to quit the kernel and reload my codebase quickly and easily.

Unfortunately, the 'Quit' functionality no longer works in Mathematica 10. Both the "EvaluatorQuit" FrontEndToken and manually running KernelExecute[ToExpression["Quit[]"]] from a MenuItem cause the FrontEnd to crash (the code used in my MenuItem is derived from this thread). The same bits of code work fine when run directly from the FrontEnd.

There clearly still exists a viable method of quitting a kernel from a menu, because the 'Quit Kernel' submenu in the 'Evaluation' menu still functions fine without crashing the FrontEnd. Unfortunately, the way this is done seems to be hidden behind the "MenuListQuitEvaluators" token used to generate that submenu.

Any advice on how to get around this bothersome crashing behavior would be most welcome.
