So nothing has changed and improved, even if https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1841752/comments/11 gave some hope.

It is macOS specific. It is not yet decided if ngspice receaves wrong input from Eeschema or if ngspice has a bug.

Anyway ngspice should not crash, even with wrong input.

I do not have access to a macOS machine. So let's team up. Is there anybody around with interest to compile ngspice in debug mode, run it from Eeschema and attach the debugger to check for the details of the crash?

Thread 10 Crashed:
0 libngspice.0.dylib 0x000000011f6d4c5d MIFsetup + 109
1 libngspice.0.dylib 0x000000012b3da3d6 CKTsetup + 214
2 libngspice.0.dylib 0x000000012b3d41b1 CKTdoJob + 961
3 libngspice.0.dylib 0x000000012afe3050 if_run + 1296
...

from above provides a hint, but is not precise enough as to where exactly and why it crashes.

I would then try to provide a fix, may be with some further iteration with the macOS partner.
