Comment 3 for bug 401193

FYI, I and others have experienced something similar. IIRC in my case just moving an object caused a segmentation fault.

As a workaround, you can download the installer for the most recent version (5.6) from cadsoft and install that. This "upgraded" my brd files so that they could not be opened by my colleagues, so I switched back to 4.16r2 (also downloadable from cadsoft).

When it crashed I got a popup about sending a report. I did that the first time it crashed. So the "relevant dumps" should be somewhere...
