I'm pretty sure that wx does not support having more than one wxApp 
instance in a program, even if you destroy one before creating the next. 
It certainly doesn't support separate wxApps in separate threads.

What is your host app? is it a wxApp?

I think you'll need to figure out a way to create on wxApp instance for 
the duration of your program, and have all the other code use it. (you 
won't be able have gui stuff going on in different threads, either)

Could you use separate processes?
