Summary: Painting Problems on Windows

Initial Comment:
I believe this is related to bug 6234 as I first came across it in a scrolled
window myself but it occurs in all painting events I believe. I''m using
the wxRuby2 preview release (0.0.38). I''m mostly using wxRuby on a Mac
and Windows and the problem has only occurred on Windows.

Essentially once you send a refresh command to a control with a evt_paint
handler it seems to go into a loop whereby the control is constantly told to
repaint itself. This generally causes a quick crash due to the garbage
collection problems on Windows but if you disable the garbage collection you get
the issue I describe.

I''ve attached some sample code that illustrates the problem.

(and thanks for your work on wxRuby - its a very useful library)
