Summary: Crash on Mac when trying to show assertion dialog

Initial Comment:
Since version 2.8.3 wxWidgets programs crash after about 1 to 5 seconds when an assertion dialog is opened. 

The same happens when using wxWidgets 2.8.4 but doesn't happen with 2.8.0.

wxWidgets build options: --disable-shared --with-mac --disable-optimize --enable-debug --enable-unicode (also tested with --enable-shared and --disable-unicode)

Computer system: iMac G5, Mac OS X 10.4.9

The application is up and running, MDI parent and child windows are shown.
The assertion is generated by wxWidgets itself, not by me, in this specific
case it was the "Cannot nest wxDCs on the same window" error message.

at which moment are you trying to show that dialog ? and is it from the
main thread ? IIRC we have a report about having this problem when starting
up and already having a splash screen displayed.

Thanks,

Stefan
