    Hey folks!

    Recently I've been experiencing a crash when trying to load in audio at runtime. It happens sporadically with no apparent cause. You can load audio fine for an hour, but then it'll just randomly crash to desktop. This seems to affect both windows and Mac.

    On Mac, the error 'mono_os_sem_init: semaphore_create failed with error 268640044'.

    On windows it gives the error 'SymGetSymFromAddr64, GetLastError: 'Attempt to access invalid address.''.

    This has been observed in Unity 2018.3.0f2 and 2018.3.14f1.

    I get these too occasionally. They are reported to me by end users who run the executable on their mac and pc. They seem to be related to the garbage collector, not to audio. It looks like the GC tries to write to the log file and then crashes.
    It may be that this started happening since I turned the "use incremental GC" switch on.
