It happens, when you not use the cancel or OK button on the bottom, but when 
you use the X in the top right corner of the window.

Further I noticed the following messages showing up from libobjc2 with debug 
when opening and closing the preferences:
Calling [NSApplication -beginModalSessionForWindow:] with incorrect signature.  
Method has ^{_NSModalSession=ii@^{_NSModalSession}}12@0:4@8, selector has 
^{_NSModalSession=}12@0:4@8
Calling [NSApplication -endModalSession:] with incorrect signature.  Method has 
v12@0:4^{_NSModalSession=ii@^{_NSModalSession}}8, selector has 
v12@0:4^{_NSModalSession=}8

The OK and Cancel buttons don't trigger the segfault.
