The error was a misplaced parenthesis. It made the execution of u D. m
liable to crashfor any u for which the derivative was known in closed
form. Very surprising that it didn't fail any of our tests.
No workaround. Fixed for next beta.

J805 does not crash, but instead gives the expected result.
In jqt the effect is to make the Term window plus any other open jqt
windows vanish instantly. A few seconds later the standard Apple problem
report appears with "jqt quit unexpectedly".
With jconsole the result is a little more helpful…

Several other (D.) phrases crash too (sorry, haven't kept a list: the
nature of the error destroys the evidence).
Note my JVERSION ......... non-avx
I'm still running OSX El-Capitan Version 10.11.6 on an early-2009 iMac
because it's too old to be upgraded to Sierra or beyond.
