Subject: bug#38031: 26.3; Trying to invoke the macOS File Open window causes Emacs to crash on macOS Catalina
Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2019 18:17:30 -0500

I tried a whole variety of distributions. I tried the brew cask (26.3), the emacs-plus formula used for spacemacs (26.3), the prebuilt Emacs for Mac OSX (26.3),  homebrew-emacs-head (another brew formula, both 26.3 and 27.0.50), and now the one I just built (I tried both with and without your patch, both 27.0.5.0, since that’s what I get with master).
