upstream says that it is already fixed upstream

see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=604306&aid=1614678&group_id=93438
the commit that fixed it seems to be
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=37717030

version 0.45 should contain the fix (and is quite near release)

Confirmed that this file is not crashing in the 0.45 beta release.
