[Freewx-maint] Bug#746526: python-wxgtk2.8: python segfaults on wx/_html.so

[Martijn]

Package: python-wxgtk2.8
Version: 2.8.12.1+dfsg2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I encountered segfaults of python2.7 when using wikidpad. Running it through
gdb revealed that the problem was wx/_html.so:
At the moment of  the crash I had the wikidpad internal html rendere switched
on en was browsing the wiki.
After I disabled html rendering or swithed to the webkit renderer, which is
offered in addition to the wxwidget html widget, wikidpad ran without problems.
This pinpoints the problem to the wxwidget html engine or underlying modules.

The gdb listing prior after the segfault is:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
