[wx 2.6.3, WinXP] Thread Issues In Console Application

I may have spoken too soon about finding a solution.
The problem I describe here:

is still occuring. Removing the ::PostMessage didn't
prevent the thread termination from getting stuck
after all.

Does anyone know what
wxConsoleAppTraits::DoMessageFromThreadWait() does? It
always returns true which causes
wxThreadInternal::WaitFotTerminate to fall into an
infinite loop for joinable threads that have
self-terminated (e.g. exited from Entry()).

As an experiment, I've changed
wxConsoleAppTraits::DoMessageFromThreadWait() to
return false instead. Only WaitForTerminate() appears
to use this method. Is there any guidance on whether
or not this is a bad thing to do? In my tests so far,
it seems to fix the stuck thread problem for me.

Thanks,
   Jul
