It looks like we're accessing freed memory here. Either the whole model has been freed, or just the row. Maybe there is some race when we're removing rows.

I'm pretty sure that this was fix committed on the 6th Sep, and rolled into the release of the 8th of September.

This is not fixed. We discussed it with Neil and kamstrup and I can clearly reproduce it with the u1ms beta. That's why I changed the status already way after the release of the 6th…
