[macOS] "Semi-intermittent" startup crash

[Alex Felippe Chiozo]

I'm running Inkscape version 0.92.0 from MacPorts (inkscape@0.92.0_6+quartz) on macOS 10.12.5. The conditions of the crash are not clear to me but from a fresh install, running from Terminal, Inkscape consistently crashed before the window even appeared and an error message would appear in Japanese (which may be due to an existing config file; my macOS settings have English and Japanese, in that order). The stack trace of the crashing thread in one such occasion is included at the end.

I tried running with LANG=<x> and although I couldn't reproduce this later, at one point Inkscape launched successfully and kept it up for about 3 consecutive launches (still thinking it was language-related, I changed my Inkscape language a few times, and when I changed it back to Japanese it started crashing again). I tried LANG=<x> a few more times without success and decided to reinstall the port, going back to square one. When I got it to launch again, I changed the interface language to British English and haven't had trouble launching since.
