I am on Linux standalone, 2.0.57

Game crashes when accessing LuaLogisticSection::owner after it's detached from the player, despite "valid" returning true

Steps to reproduce:

• Create a Logistic Section on your player character and name it "Test"

• Now enter Editor Mode, and open the console

• Run /sc local lg = game.forces.player.get_logistic_group("Test") if lg and lg.members[1] then local lgs = lg.members[1] if lgs and lgs.valid then game.print(lgs.owner) end end

This should crash the game

Post the log of the crash please, see 3638.

This gets slightly uncomfortable because LuaLogisticSection exposes owner which may be detached. I was thinking between making LuaLogisticSection.owner able of returning nil entity in that specific case but that could be considered a breaking change, so i decided to make get_logistic_group() to instead not include members that belong to detached character. Issue is now fixed for 2.0.58.
