This is a good start ;)

This is strange; I haven't seen this on MacOS (and definitely not on
windows). Will need to find a linux box.

It seems like that port may not have that function. I added a check
for that to call it under pcall. Will check the changes in later
today.

I noticed the same thing when I was testing new binaries for 2.8.12.
Reported yesterday:

yes, I can apply the same fix you did, but it does seem like something
that can be fixed in wxLua as it behaved as expected in earlier
versions.

I'd be curious to see if the debugging works. Just hit Start Debugging
on any simple script and see if you can step through it. I'll probably
open a ticket on github for this and move some of this info there.

We should probably get off the list if it gets too technical. Thank
you for your help!

Paul.
