grafik

correct error message, but due to segmentation error only visible when in gdb

Crash does not happen, when you try to open sha2017_rev1_0_0.sch via the eeschema File->open menu

then you only get this error message:

grafik

but eeschema does not crash.

Due to kicad/packaging/kicad-ubuntu-builder/kicad-daily-package#37 (closed)

I still get this message at start of eeschema:

grafik

If I open eeschema via command line, I do not have the possibility to close this message before the schematic get's importet and fails with the next message.

That might be a hint for the bug..
