Too many crashes

I got another crash last night, but this time I had launched Blender from the Terminal, so I saw where it saved the crash log. It’s surprisingly short, so I’ll just copy and paste it here:

Then in the usual macOS problem report, this is the part that matters:

Usually I don’t see thread crashed is 0, but this time it is.

Does this give you any indications on what the problem might be?

22

Are you using the sun_position addon?

23

Apparently I am. I think it shows red for Environment Texture because I used to have an HDRI map that I replaced with something else that somebody made for me here. So I just replaced it with that, but the crashes were happening since way before I changed that.

Are you saying that that addon could be the cause of the crashes?

24

I am not too familiar with crash reports, but it appears as if the addon was causing in (anyone who knows better, feel free to correct me).

If you regularly encounter the issue, it might be worth to test it without the addon to figure out whether it is more stable like that. (And possibly submit a bug report, if the suspicion is confirmed)
