Thanks for the analyses everyone!  Also see the discussion in duplicate Issue36432.  I was never able to reproduce the failure on earlier versions of macOS but then it seemed to become a hard failure with the release of 10.14.4.  I haven't gone back and tried running the tests on all supported older versions with this reversion in place but those I have did not exhibit any new failures.  So we should keep an eye open for reports of segfaults running tests as originally reported in Issue18075.  But better that then not being able to run any tests.  "Fixed" in 3.8.0a4, 3.7.4, and 3.6.9 (to allow tests to be run on macOS) by reverting the change for Issue18075.

----------
resolution:  -> fixed
stage: patch review -> resolved
status: open -> closed
