Since I cannot reproduce this, is there any chance you can attach a 
debugger to this running instance and get me a backtrace?

The varobjs are destroyed by the callback, but when the window is closed 
and the dtor is called, it tried to delete the varobjs again because the 
callback did not clear the list. This should be fixed by my patch.

I don't know why they were omitted. Maybe it is a little trickier than 
breakpoints because of possible context restrictions. I might be able to 
work up a patch for this.
