segmentation fault with TextCtrl child of StaticBox

[Andrew Schulman]

I have a short program that creates a TextCtrl as the child of a StaticBox:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import wx

class Bug(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None)
        box = wx.StaticBox(self, label='Box')
        wx.TextCtrl(box)

app = wx.App()
Bug()
app.MainLoop()

Whenever I run it, I get a segmentation fault. I'm attaching the program and gdb backtrace; please let me know if I can provide anything else.

the ticket was rejected upstream as wontfix, so we will follow suit here. It should be clear from reading the upstream ticket how a user can deal with this ticket.
