STC segfaults when entering non-7bit-ASCII characters

Whenever I try to enter a non-7bit-ASCII character
(e.g.: German umlaut) into a StyledTextCtrl, wxPython
segfaults.

(I tried this out in my own applications, in the wxPython
demo and e.g. in bitleaf2 which uses STC, too.)

- Setting the STC code page to STC_CP_UTF8 did not help.
- Compiling wxPython with Unicode support is no option for
  me (because then, the wxPython demo segfaults very often
  because of other reasons).

Am I doing something wrong?
(Don't think so, since the demo and bitleaf2 segfault, too.)

Is there any workaround for this?

My setup:

- Linux (FC1)
- Python 2.3.2
- wxPython 2.4.2.4 (built for GTK2 w/o Unicode support)

Thanks in advance for any help!
