Three different results on three different machines, and you won't be
able to reproduce all three, so I figured I should take the obvious
next step here and break on '__cxa_pure_virtual'. My a priori
expectation is that I'd find a bad constructor, but the stack trace
points to wxTextAutoCompleteData::ChangeStrings(). However, that may
mean nothing, because three levels deep the backtrace points into
Shangri-La, so maybe all we can tell is that the stack is trashed.
