A provisional debdiff is attached here.

CONSIDERATIONS:

 1) Upstream for this application does not use version control. Therefore, the patch, while using Upstream changes extracted from the diff between the latest release and previous release of the upstream application, has an upstream origination without a URL available (because there is no version control)

 2) Upstream has bundled two fixes in the latest 'update'. For this reason, only the crash-related patch and changes were included in this debdiff.

 3) Upstream developer who filed this bug was contacted by me and coordinated by way of IRC Private Message to determine the exact changes needed to address the patch. Therefore, patch author is half myself, and half upstream to the extent of the patch having to be created.

 4) Build tests were not run locally due to issues with local chroots. Build tests are now being run at, and will be available for testing the built application from, my PPA that I'm using for this build test - https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/pikopixel-builds

**This debdiff is not tested by me, and should not be accepted until someone who is familiar with PikoPixel or who can actually devote time to testing the builds can confirm this is actually fixing the crash problem.**

I volunteered to help with the packaging bits, but I do not yet have a Bionic box that I can use to test this application or the fix. (other than servers which cannot run this application).

Note that the SRU should probably be trimmed down to focus solely on the crash issue being addressed.
