Just to say I was doing something similar recently and kicad crashed on me a number of times whilst zone filling (the crash generally being preceded by a delay), so it looks like something's not quite right in the zone filling code. The crashes seemed completely random, so I've not been able to put together a useful bug report.
I have some Windows crash interception and reporting code if the Kicad authors are interested. Unfortunately I don't think it could be made to work on Linux because it traps structured exceptions, but it sure beats trawling through the code looking for oversights.
