Summary: Wildcard Syntax Error Causes Bus Error In FileDialog

Initial Comment:
I've only been able to replicate this bug on Mac OS X.

wxPython Mac aborts with a "bus error" when calling
ShowModal on a wx.FileDialog that has a wildcard with a
syntax error in it.

Wildcard: "XML Files (*.xml)|*.xml|"

As you can see above there is an extraneous pipe symbol
at the very end of the wildcard.

I would expect that this would quit with a syntax error
or something, but its probably aborting inside of some
regexp process when that process reads past the end of
the string.

Here is my environment:

PowerMac G4 Digital Audio / Dual 533
1.5GB RAM
OS X 10.4.8
MacPython 2.4.1
wxPython 2.6.1

Thanks for your help.
