Crash MGED reliably
completed by: Chris Kloehn

BRL-CAD's primary geometry editing tool is called 'mged'. What's more frustrating than software crashes? We put a lot of emphasis on developing quality software so see if you can find a problem.
Find a way to crash mged reliably. You must compile our latest Subversion sources, run mged, and keep track of steps taken that cause a crash. If you can provide a stack trace, even better. You must submit specific conditions and steps that will reliably and reproducibly cause a crash.
It must be a bug that is NOT already documented in our BUGS or Sourceforge bug tracker nor be a bu_bomb() graceful termination. It might help to become minimally familiar with how to run mged as the interface is not at all newbie-friendly.
