Short description of error
When linking a mesh's vertex group to a curve as an influence, and with 'Edit Mode' and 'On Cage' checked, after going into Edit Mode the application crashes.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Add a plane
Add a bezier curve
Select the plane, then create vertex group and assign some vertices
In Modifiers, add a Curve Modifier
Link plane to curve
Select vertex group as influence
Select 'Display Modifier in Edit Mode' and 'On Cage'
Tab and go into edit mode
