Bug Description

Hello,

I've been working in a board for a couple of day, so far without and issued, now, when trying to optimize my layout Kicad is crashing when filling the copper zones up, so far I have been able to reproduce the error, but I've not been able to find any log files or crash dump to post here.

Here a link to some screenshots I captured: https://imagebin.ca/v/2yCiN7bAMlKT

In the top picture the filled zones are working as expected,

But in third picture, when trying to fill up the zones Kicad crashes, notice that I haven't even connect the bypass capacitor yet, just vias to the pads

The boards has other components and some of them are already partially routed, unfortunately, I'm not sure where exactly the problem is coming from, just that it is triggered when I'm trying to route this component.

I hope somebody can take a look, I will try to help as much as I can, my setup is:

Kicad 4.0.4-stable, release build
wxWidgets 3.0.2 Unicode and Boost 1.57.0
Win7 SP1 64 Bit

I found this bug originally in Stable version 4.0.1

Best regards,

EDIT: The bug is not present in the nightly builds (2016-09-17 revision 679eef1)

Hi der.ule,

Is it possible to get the .kicad_pcb file that causes the crash?

However, I am not sure T.W. has worked on it.

Since the issue appears to be fixed in product branch, it appears Tom or
whoever fixed it has addressed the issue but didn't back port the fix to
the stable branch which needs to be done.

Unfortunately, it is not fixed.
This is a bug in SHAPE_POLY_SET::fractureSingle().
Just in product branch, a calculation parameter has slightly changed, and the geometry of the zone is slightly different.
This sample does not create the issue in product branch, only due to the fact the geometry of the created zone is slightly modified, but the bug is still here (and could hang Pcbnew with an other zone shape).

Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully this gets resolved soon. I
would like to roll out a new stable 4 release but I think this bug
should be resolved first.
