PCBnew: Adding dielectric layer causes pcbnew to crash

[Victor W]

We're using the latest git version of kicad (complete version information follows).

When attempting to add a dielectric layer into the physical stack up, pcbnew crashes. This is a pity because our design requires two dielectric pre-preg layers to be beside each other.

This can be reproduced on a brand new design;

File -> Board Set Up -> Physical Stack Up

Then click on "Add Dielectric Layer". And then pcbnew segfaults.

Here's the backtrace:
