crash in Footprint Chooser when clicking around in, version 36331e25

Description

When clicking around in the Footprint Chooser, sometimes there is seemingly-random crashing.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add https://github.com/markadev/KiCad-AppleII and https://github.com/HeadBoffin/RP_Silicon_KiCad to the footprint libraries; as I'm running the git version straight out of the build directory, there are only the 5 items loaded
  2. Enter schematic editor, select symbol, Properties, Footprint Chooser
  3. Start clicking around from item to item; it doesn't seem to necessarily depend on which item you click. It may take a while, and larger symbols seem to make it happen much faster. (in my case, the RPi Nano symbol seems to be the quickest to get to crash)
  4. kaboom in BOARD::UpdateMaxClearanceCache():
Exception thrown: read access violation.

[rest of backtrace elided]
  1. The specific lines of the crash:
        for( ZONE* zone : footprint->Zones() )
            worstClearance = std::max( worstClearance, zone->GetLocalClearance().value() );
  1. I do have a minidump if desired, as well as the project/schematic files
