Summary: Can't use Escape Key for keyboard shortcut

Initial Comment:
My application uses the escape key as a keyboard
shortcut to abort certain functions.  This was working
in wxpython 2.6.3.3. (Windows XP SP2, Python 2.4)
This is no longer working in wxpython 2.8.1.1. 

Here's a code snippet:

====================================
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
    wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,wx.ID_ANY, title, \
                          style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE| |
                             wx.FULL_REPAINT_ON_RESIZE)

    ...  Code removed here ...

    acceltable = wx.AcceleratorTable([
               (wx.ACCEL_NORMAL, wx.WXK_ESCAPE, \
               ABORTBUTTONGUI_ID),
            ])
    self.SetAcceleratorTable(acceltable)

    # end of __init__

=====================================


Defining other keyboard shortcuts (e.g. ALT-B, CTRL-B)
work fine.
