It's a C++ assert from the wxWidgets source. TimerProc is a detail of
the windows wxTimer implementation.

What the assert is saying is that it received a (Windows) timer
message for a timer that it doesn't know about. I can't think off hand
of a good reason why this might happen (that's why there's an assert
when it does, after all), but it might be a timing bug, especially if
it happened during application exit or while the machine was heavily
loaded.
