Description

When i try to use "join attributes by location" in the Qgis Master version (OS Ubuntu 12.04) with the 2 attached's file, the process arrive near the 70-80%, then it appears a "python error" windows only for 1 second and the program crash.
I use the file "areestradali" as target vector layer, and the file "PericolositaSismica" as Join vector layer; I keep the other option as default.

I try also with Windows 8, and the program freeze near the 75% of the process and i have to kill the program..

The difference of behaviour is because the tool has a memory leak: when you run it it starts eating up memory, if you have enough it will end (without releasing it), if not then it will lead to crash.
