    initial v1  
    1 Because faulthandler produces these tracebacks that in fact do not crash ChimeraX and on Windows double clicking the ChimeraX icon a second time starts a second ChimeraX, that second ChimeraX will see the tracebacks and ask to report it as a crash.  Probably some of are crash reports are from starting ChimeraX twice and this weird Windows behavior of reporting "Windows fatal exception" that aren't actually fatal.  Ticket #5323 looks like an example of this where there is not different kind of exception at the end that looks like a crash.
