Summary: Crash in wxListCtrl::OnGetItemAttr

Initial Comment:
Returning a wxListAttr object that isn't referenced from any other place causes fatal exception in 2.8.0.1.

Failing code:

def OnGetItemAttr(self, item):
    return wx.ListItemAttr(wx.RED, wx.WHITE, wx.Font(8, wx.MODERN, wx.NORMAL, wx.NORMAL))        

It works if the attribute returned is referenced somewhere else, i.e this works:

def OnGetItemAttr(self, item):
    return self.attr

I suspect this comes from the fact that in C++, a pointer is returned from OnGetItemAttr. The pointer is neither deleted nor referenced according to the documentation.

This worked in 2.6.3.3.
