A comment to this fix, based on experience with the Sept 19 version, running under Win7: I have on a couple of occasions found that KiCad crashes when pasting information into the fields of the Field Properties dialog of in EESchema, typically part numbers from the Digi-Key site. Sometimes, actually fairly often, copying from Digikey somehow fails to copy the right information and instead copies a large field that appears to be blank but seems to also contain other characters like tabs. It is not consequent, often I can just continue and redo the copy - paste without any harm, but a few times pasting has caused a crash, so perhaps there is occasionally bad information or too much information pasted that KiCad cannot handle that leads to the crash.
