Yay! We love seeing new users and even more love seeing new developers!

So this is with the binary I referenced below, not with something you built from source, correct?

Yes, please always Cc the list when you think you find bugs or problems. I took the liberty of simply adding the list here. 
And pleeeeaaaase don't call the project SS - that's the Schutz Staffel of Nazi Germany and some of us (like, err, me) really don't like that abbreviation used for Subsurface... If you really have to use an abbreviation, ssrf might work. But it's not that many letters, is it?

Typically when an app crashes on the Mac it offers to report the bug. Take it up on that offer and look at the stack traces that it shows - especially for the thread that crashed. Then send that stack trace with your report. Or dig in and fix the bug :-)

In this case I wasn't able to reproduce your crash here - but that might only mean that I didn't quite hit the scenario that you used in the first place. Can you give more information, maybe even send a test image plus the precise steps to reproduce this?

Thanks so much

And again: WELCOME
