The crash was due to Data_Wrap_Struct(klass, mark, free, ptr) function.
The free argument try to free pointer first, and C++ try to free that
pointer later.
The free argument have to be NULL for every wxWindows classes.

wxPython use SWIG, but wxPerl don't use SWIG.
If Ruby have it's own interface scheme like Perl's XS, it may be easy.
