fxruby users - Apr 2010 - FXlistBox.fillItems() segmentation fault - Found Work-around

As my prior posts show, I was getting very random segmentation faults when
repeatedly clearing items from a listbox and then repopulating the items.  I was
using the following statements:

mylistbox.clearItems()
mylistbox.fillItems(new_list)

This would work for awhile, but after enough iterations of clearing and
replacing the items in the listbox it would segmentation faults at the
.fillItems call.

I found a workaround.  If instead, I do:

mylistbox.clearItems()
new_list.each { |item| mylistbox.appendItem(item) }

the app works fine and never gives a segmentation fault.  I don''t know
why the latter is stable, while the former is not, but at least I found a
working solution.

I thought I''d post this in case someone else runs into this problem in
the future.
