"copy to clipboard" crashes Foldit

The "copy to clipboard" feature, which is supposed to let you post a shared solution to the website, instead causes a crash. This seems to happen on all puzzle types.

I'll note that this could be the result of server issues – The feature has to contact the server in order to let it know that the solution is sharable. It looks like if there's some issues with talking with the server, it could result in the issue you're seeing. (There's probably a way we can make that more robust, so thanks for the bug report.)

Right now, the issue seems very repeatable, 100% failure rate, so not a transient condition. Of course a comm error should not cause a crash.

I think I have a fix for the crashing. (It won't fix whatever underlying issue is causing the failure, but it should keep Foldit from crashing.) It should go out with the next devprev.
