Description
It seems that some crash reports have Python faulthandler logs showing tracebacks that don't match the user command log. I suspect this happens because two instances of ChimeraX were running when one of them crashed. I think both the faulthandler output file and the log output file are fixed file names and two ChimeraX instances will both try to write to them leading to some weird behavior.
Would be good to improve this so if multiple ChimeraX instances are running we still get consistent log info.
An example of a confusing crash report is #6073
