Comment 5 for bug 698568

Having seen the backtrace, I'm led to a few more commits which might be relevant - which were committed in the 1.5.x branch:

There was also a commit by Patrick which rework the code you're seeing crash, and another by me reverting Patrick's changes as it introduced crashes saving certain schematics. Unfortunately it appears gattrib is pretty fragile in this area.
