Hard crash on macOS 27 Developer Beta during folder indexing (NeuralNet / EXC_BAD_ACCESS)

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to give you a quick heads-up: DEVONthink 4.3.1 is currently hard-crashing on the new macOS 27 Developer Beta (Build 26A5353q).

It happens reliably as soon as I try to index a new folder, including one into a completely fresh one, or even move a file within the same database into a folder. The app instantly terminates with an EXC_BAD_ACCESS (KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE) deep inside the Objective-C runtime when getAtomicStringNeuron is called.

Here is the relevant part of the stack trace:

Exception Type:    EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Subtype: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000006400610060

Thread 0 Crashed::  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

1   libobjc.A.dylib         0x1833772e0 object_setClass + 168

3   DEVONkernel             0x103321eec getAtomicStringNeuron + 84
4   DEVONkernel             0x1032dd2d4 -[NeuralNet(Text) lookupString:] + 288

This is not urgent at all since this is only my test machine. Just wanted to let you know early so you can look into it. (Though I have to admit, out of 50 apps on my test machine, DEVONthink is the only one crashing completely so far… :wink:)

Best regards, Hartmut
