This can be triggered from any dialogue box, it seems. I eval:

(x-popup-dialogue t '("moo"))

and then hit esc. It doesn't crash every time, but it will after
repeating a few times.

It's a seg fault at line 1446 of nsmenu.m:

    [unwind_data->pool release];

This is Objective C's way of freeing memory and I guess that it's
crashing because it's trying to release some memory that's already been
freed. Maybe.
