bug#60220: 29.0.60; macOS 13.1 crash shortly after starting Emacs

[Aaron Jensen]

Hm, I don’t see how that could be generally avoided. All it would take is any idle timer that evals auto loaded code that was yet to be loaded. If this is in fact the problem it does seem unlikely anyone would hit it unless they were doing what I am doing, but that would only be a coincidence.

I wonder if there are any macOS experts here. I can try asking on stack overflow or maybe opening a support case. I’ve never been able to get to a developer though.

Might, but it might make more sense not to be dynamically loading code during an idle timer. Surely this could cause problems even in non-native lisp. Anyway, I suggest consulting a macOS expert before doing much experimenting; there's not enough evidence now for me to give advice.
