Hi Dennis - I'll look into it, I have a Big Sur machine that I can test out
on (usually don't use that one for Mythfrontend).  Sourceforge seems to be
having issues currently - so I may not get to it until the weekend.

Did the core dump occur after trying to open the application or somewhere
else (like traversing the menus or trying to play an application)?

Did you get a crash log / notice from macOS?  If so, that may point to
which dylib caused the crash.

In regards to the notice - I need to update that.  I was building with VMs
locally for a while, but that became cumbersome and moved to GitHub CI to
build.

Regards,
John
