Log:
Created a development document for catching segfaults and other errors in the
GUI tests.
This is needed as not all wxPython errors can be caught in the Python unittest
framework.

+Due to the design of wxPython, not all errors can be caught in the GUI tests
of the test suite. In addition, segmentation faults due to racing, wxPython
bugs or other problems can be difficult to pin down. The following command can
help with the debugging:
+
+$ rm -f gui_tests.log; for i in {1..10}; do echo Round $i; ./relax --gui-tests
--time -d >> gui_tests.log 2>&1 || echo -e "\n\nCrash with" $? "\n\n\n" >>
gui_tests.log; done
+
+This will run the GUI component of the test suite 10 times, to catch
non-reproducible problems, outputting all results and program faults into the
'gui_tests.log' file. To find the problems, run:
+
+$ grep "Error:\|Crash" gui_tests.log
