[Geany] Occasional crashes when switching projects

[Ronan Chilvers]

Hi all

Just got Geany to crash. I had a project open that I was working on for a
few hours. Wanted to switch so chose Projects > Close. Here's the gdb
output:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/geany --verbose

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
get_build_group (src=GEANY_BCS_PROJ, grp=<value optimised out>) at
build.c:431
431 ft = doc->file_type;
(gdb)

I'll keep it running via gdb and see if I can get it to do it again.

Cheers

Ronan
