Crashing on M2 Mac

[panagiotis merakos]

Hello all,

We are not aware of any bug in the "convert" command, and I think it is
highly unlikely such a bug to affect M2 machines but not M1 ones.

We have a M2 machine running Sonoma which is used in the prerelease testing
so my feeling is that if there was such a bug, we would have caught it in
the prerelease testing of 9.6.11 rc1, which included a fix related to the
system date on Sonoma. Also, a related report we got about the convert
command - but turned out to be not a bug, is this one:

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24362

BTW, the crash report that is attached in the first post indicates that the
app was running under Rosetta (> Code Type:X86-64 (Translated))

@Peter
If you have a reproducible recipe please do file a bug report and include
your app or a sample stack - I can give it a try in my Sonoma M2 mac mini.

Kind regards,
Panos
