Are these automatically posted to you?  I have had several in the last couple of days when running large projects

Oh I should add that I don't believe any single operation was responsible.  These were purely random and not reproducable.

No, we can't receive these reports. If you send them, you send them to Apple, not to us.

Thank you for posting them here. Unfortunately, there is nothing in these reports that we can reproduce. Two of them happen on a system library (libc++abi.dylib) in the same routine, "__dynamic_cast", which implements an essential component of the C++ language. dynamic_cast cannot fail as it is used in PixInsight (as per the C++ standard), so this definitely looks like a bug in the corresponding OS X system library.

So in this case, sending these reports to Apple might be a good idea :)
