Unfortunately that doesn’t tell me enough. Can you rebuild gtk-mac-integration with debug symbols and crash 
it again, please?
The easy way is to call setup_debug() before setup_sdk() in .jhbuildrc-custom and then run jhbuild buildone 
—force —clean gtk-mac-integration.

That’s code in gtk-mac-integration; you’ll have to change it and rebuild gtk-mac-integration for it to do 
anything.
