Hi all,

Excellent news. wxgtk 2.8.11 really fixes the problem. While 2.8.11 is not 
available in Debian unstable it is available in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty)

I simply installed the Ubuntu package in Debian (which worked without errors) 
and it really did stop the crash in Ginkgo-CADx.

I had to install libwxbase and libwxgtk2 from Ubuntu.

Best regards,
Sebastian
