There are decent workarounds for this bug (set the locale, or use the
char** overload of wxExecute) and no signs of interest in backporting
the changes so I'm going to mark this as "wontfix".
If the fix is backported and merged to upstream's WX_3_0_BRANCH we can
pick it up for Debian before the next 3.0.x release (our packages are
actually already tracking upstream's branch since 3.0.x releases are so
infrequent).
Cheers,
Olly
