Bug#837203: libwx-perl: Leaks memory using Wx::Timer

[Mark Dootson]

Package: libwx-perl
Version: 1:0.9923-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I maintain Wx and fixed a memory leak in release 0.9928.
It affects Wx::Timer use - leaks 1 scalar every timer event.
As timer events may be triggered at millisecond intervals, this could be a
serious issue for developers using Wx::Timer.

The patch was applied for release 0.9928 and fixes the issue. Please consider
applying it to stable package.
