File bug with bugzilla, but before doing so, get a crash trace to 
include in the bug report. Go to Console.app, and in it's prefs turn on 
crash reporting. This information will be useful for the engine 
developers, but perhaps useless in terms of your transcript code.

If you include a sample stack and the crash trace then the engine 
developers should be able to fix it. (the engine or IDE should never 
crash because of something you do in transcript)
