Here it is:

struct rlimit {
    rlim_t    rlim_cur;        /* current (soft) limit */
    rlim_t    rlim_max;        /* maximum value for rlim_cur */
};

I'm on 10.13.6. Early-2015 MBP with a Core i7 and 16GB RAM. I just
rebooted the machine just to see if maybe it's a transient problem,
but no dice.

Did you definitely run the binary as
/path/to/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q
? I can't reproduce the crash under a debugger, but it happens 100% of
the time otherwise. That, and the error message

2018-09-30 08:19:22.656 Emacs[1407:25736] *** -[NSAutoreleasePool
release]: This pool has already been released, do not drain it (double
release)

make me think there's a race condition in a memory release somewhere
that doesn't get hit when the system runs a little slower.

It might be helpful to compare with 10.14/Mojave, but I'm holding off
installing it until 10.14.1 comes out.
