gnome-software crashed with SIGSEGV in magazine_cache_push_magazine()

[shinyblue]

gnome software currently (ubuntu gnome 16.04 beta1) seems unusable to me. When you type in the search box letters come up more than once, then it takes over and deletes all your typing and keeps making "pipping" noises.

Also everything is apparently non-free, inc. things like Nautilus?(!)

"Software" seems to be working fine now for me.

Closing as better crash information is available in errors.ubuntu.com. Thanks for the report.
