Hi Pete, thanks for reporting this.

Is there any chance you could try the master branch or a nightly
build? There have been a few crash fixes made in it.

Yes I can, but how do I do that?  Right now I use: 

brew install emacs --with-cocoa

which I thought gets the latest version.

FYI, the universal binary for the Mac, Emacs-25.2-universal.dmg, does NOT have this problem.
