after we did a bit of dissecting, it appears to be the CANJaguar class. We have the BlackJaguar Plugin installed, and all Jaguars are at firmware 89 if I remember correctly (whatever last years was, we have it)
This is a bug that will be fixed in the next update. It is caused by the CANJaguar constructor not completing successfully (in your case due to the version being too old) and therefore not assigning a valid address to the m_motorSafetyHelper pointer. Later when that pointer is accessed, it crashes. For now, if you update the firmware version on your Jags to v92, the crash should go away.
