inkscape crashed with SIGSEGV in Inkscape::Preferences::_getNode()

[Melissa Draper]

Summary is the same as #837744 but I was not doing the action described in that report.

I had selected several nodes and was using shift+down to move them when the crash happened.

Likely the same as bug #937835, bug #983843, and bug #1049277.

Maybe these reports should be unlinked as duplicate of
- Bug #941317 “inkscape crashed with SIGSEGV in getObject()”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/937835>
since bug #937835 itself is fixed in Inkscape 0.48.4.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

No information available to help provoke this bug, nor to check whether it is fixed ...
The added null check in this patch should prevent this crash though.
