Go into your Preferences and change the number of threads to 1. Older MacOS
are not able to handle the number of threads > 1. If you upgrade to High
Sierra then you can change it back to 4 or 8 or whatever the default is.

Let me know if you still have issues.

Allez dans vos préférences et changez le nombre de threads à 1. Les anciens
MacOS ne sont pas capables de gérer le nombre de threads> 1. Si vous passez
à High Sierra, vous pouvez le remettre à 4 ou 8 ou à n'importe quelle
valeur par défaut.

Faites-moi savoir si vous avez encore des problèmes.

Thanks,
