ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Jean-Claude 2021-09-20 18:59:05 UTC 
It seems that I solved this problem by installing KStars 3.5.5 on a clean disk.
Then I added/replaced the files of the new kstars folder by the files of the old one.
I found that the following old folders caused problems :
autofocus, defect maps, descriptions, ekos, gsc
I didn't add/replace them.
KStars 3.5.5 now works fine without crashing
Comment 2 Jean-Claude 2021-09-20 19:00:39 UTC 
I forgot to mention that the folder "nds" caused also a crash
Comment 3 Jean-Claude 2021-09-20 19:03:32 UTC 
Sorry, I was wrong and KStars 3.5.5 keeps crashing on the opening
Comment 4 Jean-Claude 2021-09-21 06:05:20 UTC 
KStars 355 crashes with the Simulator profile.
After the crash, it is necessary to Force Quit the INDI Server which is still running.
In macOS, I can do this with the app Activity Monitor
Otherwise the crash still occurs with "real" profiles too
Comment 5 Rob 2022-01-23 04:06:49 UTC 
This was fixed I think when we figured out what combination of settings caused it.
