Thomas,

Thank you for adding the change to the repository. I will make a note to use the ‘-u’ parameter next time.

Unfortunately, I was not using SDL2. I did have the SDL2 framework in ~/Library/Frameworks but I removed it before this last compile just in case it was seen during the compilation or execution of Hatari. Unfortunately, I get the same error when I moved the SDL2 framework to my Desktop. The video recording also crashes when I use the SDL menu as well. However, it does not crash Hatari until I exit the SDL menu. I retested the 1.8.0 released version and the video crash does not occur there.

Can someone else who compiles Hatari for OS X test the latest Mercurial snapshot and see if you have the same crash when recording video? If it just me, I am not concerned. I only record video in Hatari when testing that functionality.
