Symbol editor segfaults on paste

[Jan Brittenson]

Start KiCad
Click the Symbol Editor
New Library
Name and Save it
Add to Project
Select newly created library
Right click and Add Symbol
Create a new single unit symbol
Open an existing symbol, say Device:C_Small
Select all except ref and part (though you can select those too if you like)
Copy
Go back to the newly created symbol in the newly created library
Paste -> crash
(It may seem to work, just zoom out and wait a few seconds)

This is a dereference of freed memory, so it's only serendipity that it doesn't crash on other platforms.
