Synopsis: EiffelStudio when started from a shell, crashes on exit

Description
I commonly start Eiffelstudio from a shell.

Since changing to 21.11 I have had several instances where, after selecting the menu command to Exit, and confirmed, I get the following
response to my shell window:
==================================================
ec: PANIC: Unexpected harmful signal (Segmentation fault) ...

ec: system execution failed.
Following is the set of recorded exceptions.
NB: The raised panic may have induced completely inconsistent information:

******************************** Thread exception *****************************

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ec: dumping core to generate debugging information...
==================================================

I have not yet discovered any 'core' files as a result ...

On reflection, this my not be a new issue with 21.11 although I have noticed it more often.
To Reproduce
Not as yet known, unless there is any connection with changing files, probably including the .ecf configuration file, while eStudio is still running.
