Description
**Description of the error**
Sometimes, the ASE converter unexpectedly crashes with a `Segmentation fault`.
Recently, this has been observed on MacOS (ARM) with ASE version `3.25.0`. The same/similar problem has been reported before in #592
**Describe the expected result**
The trajectory conversion should complete uninterrupted.
**Describe the actual result**
The conversion job crashes with a segmentation fault (no Python traceback), destroying the GUI.
**Suggested fix**
To some extent this may be a problem on the ASE end. Would it help to change the way ASE converter iterates over frames?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the ASE converter crash on macOS ARM with ASE 3.25.0, then review the related report in issue #592 and the converter's frame-iteration entry point. Done means trajectory conversion completes uninterrupted without a segmentation fault or GUI crash.
