Bug Description
kicad build (2010-05-05 BZR 2356)-stable running under Windows 7, 2Gb memory, AMD Phenom 8450, ATI radeon HD 3200 graphics.
I had created a one page schematic which started to get crowded, so I added a connectionless hierarchy symbol on the first page with the intent of moving some parts of the schematic onto the new page to free up some room. I can visit the new page OK and I set up the page size to 'B' and copied over the title block information by editing the master copy on the first page and exporting the page settings. Next I select the block components to be moved, right click and select 'save block'. next I navigate into the new page using the hierarchy navigator, click the paste icon, I see the component outlines, I move them to where I want, click to paste them in place and eeschema crashes and I see the standard windows dialog box for a crashed program.
I tried doing the same operation on a much smaller block (one 4 pin connector, a few nets and a ground symbol) and that worked correctly with no crash.

I have the same build of kicad running under Gentoo (sci-electronic s/kicad- 20100505_ p2356), AMD Athlon 64 4600+, ATI Radeon X1650pro, 1GB RAM.
After doing almost the same thing, I experience this crash too.
I click on 'Place hierarchical sheet' and place a sheet inside my full one page schematic and give it a name in the dialog. However, I think I can isolate the cause of the crash: It seems to depend on what I select via 'save block' because the crash ONLY occurs if I include the sheet component in the selection (and try pasting the stuff later after entering the sheet).
