Recent (3.12+) macOS builds crash on exit. #3754

Description

Describe the bug

Since about the first rawaudio builds, i noticed the Jamulus client sometimes crashing when exiting the app. This has been reported along the rawaudio build discussions by several users though no clear link to the patch could be found, so might as well be unrelated.

Also, latest 4.0 beta1 sometimes crashes on my native M1 build, stacktrace by Apple crash reporter is not super helpful but at least dumps some lines about malloc / mutex calls.

What is interesting is, that @ann0see by accident left a Copilot code analysis report of the iOS build in 00e8668#diff-78ed0fa926a94e116646dc6705a0e993e2ab613c66e3fc2d06376096cb6d6e79 which points to the same direction. Nowadays, macOS and iOS/iPadOS on Apple Silicon share a lot of framework and libs, if not even system libs and kernel (not sure). So there might be a relationship to the Copilot report.

To Reproduce

Very hard to reproduce. Install latest 4.0 beta1 on Apple Silicon (M1 Pro for me). Run, exit, run, exit, run, exit... sometimes after a few attempts Apple reports an app crash with dump.

Expected behavior

It does not crash on exit ;-)
