Gpredict crashes on some predictions
See attached image.

In the list for NOAA 15 the next AOS is predicted for 11:58:57. (1) Click on "Nächsten Überflug anzeigen" ("show next pass", 2) => gpredict crashes. Interestingly heavens-above (see background) does not predict this pass.
Next problem: Open future passes table (3). Right click on the prediction for 16:47:22. Only "Details anzeigen" (show details) is available. Click on it, gpredict crashes. Heavens-above does not predict this pass, too.
Reproducabilty: Always Affected Versions: 2.3.56-3205 (recent on github) and 2.1 (Ubuntu 18.04.2)
If you post your ground station coordinates and the TLE data we might be able to reproduce in the future, though I do not have the time to look at it right now before the prediction "expires". Note that heaven above seems to be set to 10-degree threshold, which might be why it is not predicting the pass.

If I set minimum elevation in gpredict to 10 degrees then the 16:47:22 disappears from the future passes list (3) because the max elevation is 5.48°. But it stays in the list under the map (1). If I select next pass (2) there it does not crash anymore but shows the next pass starting at 18:22:52.
Thanks. I'm trying to reproduce it.
Thanks.
Found an interesting effect: I´m only interested in a rough pass so I modified the pass time resolution to 120s to get fewer table lines. If I set it to 20s it works. Maybe the pass is now too short for some processing.
