----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 The wxInitAllImageHandlers function calls the wxImage::AddHandler function
 multiple times, adding new handlers to the wxList sm_handlers.
 When the application exits these handlers are not deleted automatically as
 the static list is cleaned up and therefore show up as a memory leak.
 Although this is not normally a problem, since the program is exiting
 anyway, it does get in the way when trying to track down other memory
 related issues via programs such as valgrind.
