Not that I know of. It sounds like you know that you cannot call GUI
functions from a thread, so if you're not doing any GUI stuff in the
thread wxLuaState there shouldn't be a problem.

Can you debug this? It would be nice to fix, but I regularly use
multiple wxLuaStates without any problems. I just ran valgrind in
Linux and I get the usual X windows and GDK errors, which is a shame,
but nothing from wxLua.

Perhaps you could just make this simple test and see if it works?

wxApp::OnInit()
{
   wxLuaState l1(true);
   wxLuaState l2(true);
