Trying to save a figure results in EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[crbinz]

It happens occasionally when I try to save a figure using the Save icon in the figure window (it doesn't happen every time, though).

I'm using PyPlot v2.3.1 and julia v0.5.1 on Windows 7. Let me know if this should be moved to PyCall.jl instead.

Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their
 entirety). Thanks.

Does it happen if you are not using ConEmu? What if you configure PyCall with the built-in Conda distro (via ENV["PYTHON"]=""; Pkg.build("PyCall"))? What is PyPlot.backend?
