[Spread-users] Interesting Spread crash with 3.17.01

[Jonathan Stanton]

Hi David,

I'll try your test setup and if I can reproduce it I'll fix it. I have one 
other crash bug that is triggered differently (it was reported in late 
december on the spread-users list) but looks like it might be related.
