I'm not sure what to make of this crash, but there are a decent number of them. They seem to have "Mac Crash info" where the "message" starts with "Could not establish connection to coreservicesd. Err=(os/kern) successful", and the "module" is "/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Versions/A/CarbonCore". There's some stuff in the correlations but I can't tell how much of it is the usual Mac stuff.

There are a few reports online of similar crashes in other applications, such as https://github.com/vlaci/openconnect-sso/issues/23. From the bug report:

"There is a known condition within OSX where calling fork in certain situations is prohibited. Normally this can be overridden by setting export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES as described on StackOverflow and other places."
