Description
When I got home from work, the computer (iMac running 10.13.0) was pretty much "hung". My girlfriend had tried to log in, and after entering her password the cursor changed to the "swirly pinwheel thingy" (her term for it) and then nothing... The mouse still moved the cursor and the keyboard still toggled the caps lock light, but otherwise the system was non-responsive. I ended up having to hold the power button for ten seconds to cycle power, and after rebooting and logging in, the Keybase app asked three times about installing a new helper app, then showed something like "exit code 1 when installing mount" (the exact wording should be in what keybase log send sent you.)

Research direction
Start with the submitted Keybase log for ID 9ce03dff3494627b61c0241c and inspect the mount-helper installation failure after the iMac is power-cycled. Reproduce on the reported macOS 10.13 setup if possible, then confirm the app no longer crashes or repeatedly reports an exit-code-1 mount-installation error.
