Finally, I did some more investigations & fine tuning with my script, and I think I finally tracked down the bug that caused the crash : under certain circumstances (actually hard to predict), my script attempted to create a group with a name that already existed for another group, and with certain images that already belonged to another group. I was able to reproduce the situation several times in a row and on different MacOS environments, so I'm pretty sure it's the cause of the crash. The only thing is that one would expect an execution error message under such circumstances, instead of an application crash... Hope that helps.
