Comment (by macca8):

 Out of curiosity, I tested the v2.1.0 32 bit intel release natively on
 macOS 10.5.8, and it crashes on that system as well.
 Turns out the results are even more diabolical than 10.6.8... there's
 actually two pre-existing unresolved complications on 10.5.8 that predate
 the v2.1.0 release build crash.

 Ignoring the release build crash, the behaviour with the current daily
 builds (developmental & stable) is identical to that reported for the PPC
 OSX v2.1.0 release build in
 https://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14967#p87856, so that
 problem is with macOS 10.5.8 in general, not just that specific release.

 The source of one of these complications is the addition of the Help Menu
 (no window display, no cursor (scroll to bottom of screen to reveal), Help
 Menu with only a search box, & the need to Force Quit (can be done from
 the Dock))... no crash, but the macOS console reports a problem with the
 Help Menu.

 I was able to prove this by testing old versions. The v2.0.0 32 bit
 release & a daily build from June 2018 (both predating the introduction of
 the Help Menu) function normally on 10.5.8. A daily build from late
 September 2018 (featuring the Help Menu) displays the symptoms described
 previously.

 The second complication is the addition of the remastered modern theme,
 specifically the change of the app's icon (app label accompanied by an
 invisible icon)... replacing the new icon with the old icon within the
 app's bundle resolved this issue.

 Until these complications are resolved, it's difficult to determine if the
 crash with the 32 bit v2.1.0 release is the same as that affecting macOS
 10.6.8.
