Thanks Paul.  We do have a qWarning message in the code to output in the
debug log, but I guess -release mode optimises that out.  I'll see if I can
get a proper message box to pop up instead for 5.3 beofre we fix it
properly (see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-36112).  The
crash we know about, see
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-38023, but just to confirm
are you using OSX 10.9 mavericks, or something earlier?

Thanks!

John.
