Mantid crashes on attempt to show a simple instrument

Component:	Framework	Keywords:

Description (last modified by Nick Draper) (diff)

If one runs LoadEmptyInstrument on the IDF file attached to ticket #5914 or #5915 and then attempt to show the instrument, Mantid crashes (in Windows 7 64-bit).

It should either show the instrument or give an error message.

This still crashes on Windows (3.2.1 and master), OSX (3.2.1) and Fedora 20 (master). I'm reopening this. However, we need to question that the "minimal" IDF as no source or sample information is set. This is the cause for the crash. IMHO, this "minimal" IDF is incorrect as source and sample information (even fake ones) are an integral part of an instrument.
