I noticed this bug in the Linux wx1.5b3 too. The
user-to-user chat seems to work though.
This adds to the other wx1.5b3 Linux bugs:

This Linux port should be called alpha, not beta :(.

Could be another instance of lack of unicode to ascii
conversion problem. Like the previous bug 1170800

I believe I have nailed the bug down to two offending lines
in d_chat.cpp, both of which consist of:

i.lParam=GetTickCount();

By simply commenting out these two lines, chat functionality
was restored. I am by no means a decent coder, so I really
can't say if I'm breaking anything else, but it doesnt seem
like it.

same problem here
but if you chat with someone [ not in a room] it works

also

the send file to someone feature is missing
missing refresh of a shared directory

otherwise works fine

I have the same bug... Can use private chat but when joining
a channel and writing there => crash...

The problem is still present in wxwaste 1.5b4. I compiled and am running on Ubuntu Dapper, with wx 2.6.1.

theanomaly's patch works for me at this point. A backtrace of the crash, which I don't think tells us anything new, begins thus:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
