_.". 'circ'

...causes a hard crash of J on the iMac which loses all J-related
evidence but results in a bug report being mailed off to Apple.
The report is headed: J quit unexpectedly while using the libj.dylib plugin.

There's no facility for stopping the report being sent, so I've
spammed Apple trying to investigate a capricious bug in my
application, which turns out to be all down to this.

The string 'circ' can be replaced by: 'circl', 'chur', and (many?)
words beginning 'chur'. Strangely, 'circle' works ok as expected.

Is anyone curious as to how someone might stumble upon a bug like this?
