Tonights nightly for fedora 38 crashes immediately with segmentation error

Version info:

kicad-nightly x86_64 7.99.0-1.20230830gitb1a388c.fc38 copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:group_kicad:kicad

Command line:
$ kicad-nightly
Unhandled unknown exception; terminating the application.
/usr/bin/kicad-nightly: rad 5: 292181 Segmenteringsfel (minnesutskrift skapad) /usr/lib64/kicad-nightly/bin/kicad “$@”

Does this happen on for anyone else, on the same or other platforms?

Happened to me for a locally built version on CentOS 8. When I debugged it I found the problem to be associated with settings. So I moved the .config/kicad directory aside and there was no repeat of the problem I think the commit

Do not crash if PARAM_LIST backing data contains unexpected type

Might be the fix. I haven’t checked.

The nightly of today (20230831) doesn’t crash, so it is possible that was the fix.
