 This looks like a CRT mismatch, doesn't it?

 This was fixed in later releases, basically you just need to replace
cbSize with this->cbSize (as cbSize is a dependent name).

 I don't understand why having wxString dtor inline should be a problem
though? And if you build with wxUSE_STL=1 you'd be using std::basic_string
whose dtor is probably inline anyhow (and we can't change this).
