Dear Maintainer,
I have the same symptoms as the original reporter. When using the KiCad
PCB layout program pcbnew, the X server repeatedly crashes with a
substantially similar backtrace to the OP. I am using KiCad compiled
from source, bzr version 5054. I have reproduced the backtrace here,
as it does not appear in the automatically-attached log. I am running
a custom kernel for disk-related reasons, but as I am seeing the same
fault as the OP I do not suspect that this is a confounding factor. I
can likely revert to mainline if that is absolutely necessary.
