invalid geometry in python console crashes qgis

[elpaso]

Open Qgis
Start python Console
Enter and execute this code:

l=qgis.core.QgsVectorLayer("Point", "QPoint", "memory")
l.dataProvider().addFeatures([qgis.core.QgsFeature(qgis.core.QgsGeometry().fromWkt('POINT(9 , 45)'))])

An "unknown exception" message appears and python console hangs
Close python console
Re-start python console
Segmentation fault

(note: invalid WKT)

Well, I can't replicate here (Python 2.6.5) - the error is handled properly.

The problem should be fixed in r14904 - there was an unhandled exception from GEOS - the WKT should read POINT(9 45) - with no comma between the coordinates.

The whole correct code would be:

g = qgis.core.QgsGeometry.fromWkt('POINT(9 45)')
f = qgis.core.QgsFeature()
f.setGeometry(g)
l=qgis.core.QgsVectorLayer("Point", "QPoint", "memory")
l.dataProvider().addFeatures([f])
