I built v0.15.0 on my mac (Mac OS X 10.13.1 (17B1003)) and run the tests with make check. All good. I then started bitcoind on mainnet which after a bit started to receive blocks. To stop the process I used the command bitcoin-cli stop. Unfortunately bitcoind exited with a Segmentation fault: 11.

I had a look at ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports and found several ones. They all look the same.
