audacity crashed with signal 5 in raise()

[Danny Werner]

The crash happened right after a messagebox over starting splash in a fresh Ubuntu Studio 15.10 virtualbox with Soundblaster emulator, saying: assert "wxIsStockID(GetId())" failed in SetItemLabel(): A non-stock menu item with an empty label?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Torbjörn Rathsman (milasudril)]

Can this be a gcc-5 related issue? It looks like an ABI issue. A similar issue occurs on x86, but there no assertion message appears. Instead I get an empty menu of devices, which is what I get on x86_64 if I choose to ignore the assertion message.
