@VladimirKempik, Apologies about the delay :)

I have been busy with other tasks since my last post. Nevertheless, today I was able to focus on testing the issue based on your suggestions. I tested  both my build of this branch and the zulu11 build on MacOS versions `11.0`, `11.2.1`, `11.5.2`, and `11.6.2`.  Here are my results:

| OS Version |  My Build  |  Zulu11 |
| :---        |    :----:   |          ---: |
| 11.0 | Crash | No Crash |
| 11.2.1 | Crash | No Crash |
| 11.5.2 | No Crash | No Crash |
| 11.6.2 | No Crash | No Crash |
