Segfault when starting

I am using Mousepad 0.6.4 on XFCE Manjaro Linux.

I just updated my system yesterday, and today when I start Mousepad I am getting this error: (mousepad:16872): Mousepad-CRITICAL **: 11:07:53.205: mousepad_encoding_read_bom: assertion 'contents != NULL && length > 0' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I had a number of open files, and also some unsaved buffers in ~/.local/share/Mousepad/ so perhaps it is trying to load one of these.

Hmm, yes I see, not good... it happens when the disk reference file of an autosaved file was deleted while mousepad was not in use, due to a stupid error introduced by 6c03c218. This will justify a new release.

But it should only happen once, right? When you relaunch mousepad afterwards, it should open "normally", i.e. without crashing, but with your previous session state only partially restored. All your data has been kept in ~/.local/share/Mousepad though, but restoring the autosaved file(s) whose disk reference was deleted while mousepad was closed will have to be done by hand.
