Oh, so it's just signal 4, not -4?


The signal is 4. The exit status is -4.

Those lines were super useful! Not sure why I couldn't find that 
info on my own ...

Hi all,

Unix signal #4 is illegal instruction (negative returns usually 
mean it was killed by that number signal). Most common way to 
hit that is a broken function pointer or corrupted class 
leading into data that isn't supposed to be executed as code. 
Also possible an assert(0) got hit in release mode or something 
like that.


Easiest way to debug it is to open it in a debugger and look at 
the stack trace to see where it came from.
