Segmentation Fault in sdf::getBestSupportedModelVersion

[osrf-migration]

Original report (archived issue) by Dominic Jud (Bitbucket: djud).

Since the last update of sdformat4, there is a segmentation fault occurring that was not there before the update. I'm using gazebo7 and Ubuntu 14.04. The backtrace goes to sdf::getBestSupportedModelVersion.

Log with the backtrace from GDB when running gazebo:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

@scpeters As the author of the related PR: Is this a general bug or might it be a problem specific to me?

This is resolved. The issue was that we had an old definition of a sun where in the model.config we still had <sdf>model.sdf</sdf> causing the seg fault instead of <sdf version="1.5">model.sdf</sdf>.

A similar issue has been posted on Gazebo:

https://bitbucket.org/osrf/gazebo/issues/2238/gzserver-or-gazebo-76-crashes-on-startup

We should try to handle this better so there are no crashes.

Let's' add a test case with a malformed model.config to confirm that it doesn't crash.

pull request #327, thanks Dominic for the report and the workaround.

My plan is to role a patch version of sdformat4 as soon as we get the PR merged.
