Using mpl 0.99.1 and sometimes get the following exception.

I thought/guessed it had to do with not having resized the canvas 
correctly, but I am not sure and the following code is run whenever I 
resize the parent of the canvas.

     def _SetSize( self ):
         pixels = tuple( self.parent.GetClientSize() )
         self.SetSize( pixels )
         self.canvas.SetSize( pixels )
         self.figure.set_size_inches( float( pixels[0] 
)/self.figure.get_dpi(),
                                      float( pixels[1] 
)/self.figure.get_dpi() )


What could the cause of this error be?
