Re: wxLua crashes when mouse hover on the frame window :-(

OK, I think it does seem to depend on the actual script. Here's what I
did, maybe it helps in finding the problem:

R:\coding\Lua\wxtest>type wxtest.lua
require "wx"

frame = wx.wxFrame(wx.NULL, wx.wxID_ANY, "wxLua Minimal Demo",
                   wx.wxDefaultPosition, wx.wxSize(450, 450),
                   wx.wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE)

frame:Show(true)

wx.wxGetApp():MainLoop()

R:\coding\Lua\wxtest>..\5.1\lua wxtest.lua
(crashes)

R:\coding\Lua\wxtest>..\5.1\wlua wxtest.lua
(works)
