Worked: 2.93.6

Caused by rB3b6ee8cee708: Refactor: Move vertex group names to object data

Short description of error
Blender crashes on mesh edit if the mesh has a curve modifier with both a vertex group set and the edit mode display option toggled on.
The crash seems to depend on both being set, both options work normally when used independently (remove the vertex group or turn off the edit mode display option on the modifier and edit will still work).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open attached .blend file.
Select the plane.
Press tab to go into edit mode - Blender will crash.
Either remove the vertex group or turn off the edit mode display option on the modifier and it won't crash.
Thank you!

Hi Philipp, thanks for looking into this. But surely it's not resolved if the solution is to not enable it or remove the vertex group? As in my case I need to use the vertex group, but also work with it in edit mode, so both need to be enabled.

Ah I see, sorry I was responding to this - 'Either remove the vertex group or turn off the edit mode display option on the modifier and it won't crash.' I'll take a look, thanks!
