#9759: DirSelector and FileSelector Fatal IO error when called with long PromptStr

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
This happens when either DirSelector or FileSelector gets called with very
long first arguments (prompt string).
It leads to resource consumption and memory problems.

My estimation is there isn't a reason for the string to be that long and
should be filtered

import wx
myApp = wx.App()
wx.DirSelector('X'*40077700, '<>')
python: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.

tested on ubuntu hardy with the following versions:

python-wxgtk2.8 2.8.7.1-0ubuntu3
python-wxversion 2.8.7.1-0ubuntu3
python2.5 2.5.2-2ubuntu4

Bug was not tested on other platforms or versions of wx which may as well
be affected.

Best regards,
Markos Gogoulos
