Bug#746609: possible patch

[Olly Betts]

Note that the BTS doesn't automatically Cc the submitter of the bug, you
have to do that yourself (e.g. by using "reply to all" or Cc-ing
746609-submitter at bugs.debian.org).  I only saw your reply by chance as
I was looking at this bug to remind myself what the issue was.

Assuming the valgrind vs non-valgrind difference I saw was due to the
timing of events mattering, that could also explain it not manifesting
for you on different hardware.

Thanks, I'll give it a try soon.

The list of packages still needing attention is pretty long, so it's
likely to be a few months yet until we're in a position to actually
remove wxwidgets2.8.
