OBS completely crashes, due to a segmentation fault.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the OBS log at https://obsproject.com/logs/Xi6IH3xMndBH73pD and reproduce the crash in OBS Browser interaction mode using a site that opens a file picker. Trace the file-picker handling reached by that action and verify that OBS remains open while the host picker appears.
