With or without the changes committed between the time I wrote that
and 20100728T2041Z, try this:

  copy anything but a valid census to the clipboard
    [I copied the single letter 'm']
  File | New | Census
  Census | Paste census data
  Census | Print case

It segfaults. It's been that way for some time. Hence revision 5084
of 20100728T2042Z. Code such as this:

  bool CensusView::DoAllCells(mcenum_emission emission)
  {
      assert_consistency(case_parms()[0], cell_parms()[0]);

assumes that cell_parms() is not empty. I suppose I should add
appropriate assertions to the accessors.
