Bug Description
I used symbol editor's pin table to add pins, 14 of them at the moment. I wanted to move them by dragging with mouse. But originally they are located in the same place and the selection clarification menu can't handle too many items. The latest code from launchpad git throws failed assertion:
kicad/eeschema/
It's possible that this happens for other clarification menus, too, maybe also in pcbnew, but I haven't tested.
There really should be no upper limit or it should be very large. One possible GUI solution would be to create hierarchical menus, like
a
b
c
d
e
f
more>
g
h
i
j
k
l
more>
etc.
Or open a dialog which could handle all items in a scrollable list.

This comes up rarely enough that I think your use-case is one of the few. And since the pins are well-ordered, I think a long scrolling menu is fine (and much much less work).
I've bumped up the max from 10 to 200.
