Those were in a different patch/commit.  The commit/changelog message I'm
referring to says: "- Fix for GTK warnings in wxNotebook::DoRemovePage."

With enough hindsight to light the way though, I can now see that this
is just verbatim from the upstream commit.  Apparently in the wxLexicon,
an assertion failure and crash simply constitute 'warnings'...

doko was also able to confirm he believes this was an accident.  It looks
like he's tried to reapply this fix to source that already had it, and
either patch has automatically reversed it, or he resolved the conflict
backwards.

Yes, I recall being reasonably comfortable with it when I first applied
it, I was just getting a lot of mixed messages which was raising red
flags I needed some answers for.  I think I can see what's happened now
though, so I'll reapply that change to the repo again.

Cheers,
