[erlang-bugs] Segfault when using Observer

[Adam Lindberg]

After some more investigation, it happens with “any” erlang version 17.0, 17.3, 17.4 (haven’t tested older ones). I re-installed wxMac via Hombrew and compiled it myself (instead of installing the bottle) with the same results, but this still has the issue. Most likely it is something with my OS installation + wxMac version that doesn’t play well together, especially if it looks to you like the crash is inside wxWidgets code.

Cheers,
Adam
