When trying to capture and solve, EKOS on OS X is issuing the following:
timestamp   Solver failed. Try again.
timestamp  Error starting solver. Process crashed.

The tail of the log file is:

Robert applied a quick-fix yesterday. Please try to redownload KStars of OSX again and see if it resolves your issue.

Hi, I can confirm that (with the simulators) this has fixed my plate solving. Thank you!
