This is fixed by upstream commits 48a43f9 and d9eaec0, but there is
another, similar crash tracked as
<https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/issues/791> which is not yet fixed
on the upstream 1.2.x branch. I've sent pull request
<https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/pull/792> with a minimal backport
of the fix from upstream master.

I've prepared an NMU for mypaint (versioned as 1.2.0-4.1) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/7. Please feel free to tell me if I
should delay it longer or cancel it, or conversely if I should
reschedule it to land sooner.

I would also be happy to sponsor an similarly minimal upload if you'd
prefer that (I notice the upstream maintainer and one of the Debian
maintainers are the same person).

I suspect that upstream release 1.2.1 might have too much in it for the
release team to accept it during freeze.
