Bug Description

Reproduce:
1. Create rectangles (F4)
2. Draw Bezier Curve (Shift+F6)
3. Copy Curve (Ctrl+C)
4. Select rectangles (Tab)
5. Path Effect Editor (Shift+Ctrl+7)
6. Add «Bend» effect
7. Click «Link to path» button
8. Save (Ctrl+S)
9. Open the saved document...
...Segmentation fault

The sequence is important. If draw a curve earlier than the rectangle - the problem does not arise.

Based on the backtrace (attached), same as
 Bug #734866 "segfaults on load of file that previously saved fine. blame: path-effect"
 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/734866>
which is a duplicate of

Also confirming that stack order (aka z-order) matters: the linked bend path needs to come before (aka be stacked below) the bent path (path with path effect applied).

Proposing to link bug #734866 and bug ##616198 as duplicates to this (newer) report (bug #941661) because it provides easy and precise 'steps to reproduce'.

-> the fix for bug #616198 as expected also fixes this one. Linking as duplicate to bug #616198 because devs decided to discuss and comment the issue there.
