Hi,

On Mac OSX there is no GSRegisterCurrentThread (which is GNUstep specific).
The crash you got comes shows that we finally cannot avoid it as it's currently
done.
For now in gst-plugins-gl/gst-libs/gst/gl/gstglwindow_cocoa.m we have:

#ifndef GNUSTEP
static BOOL GSRegisterCurrentThread(void) { return TRUE; };
static void GSUnregisterCurrentThread(void) {};
#endif

I attached a possible implementation that comes from GNUstep code
(gnustep-base-1.18.0/Source/NSThread.m) with some modifications I made to adapt
it to our case. 
(it's not a patch, you have to put the attachment code into
gstglwindow_cocoa.m)

I have no Mac machine so I let you try it.

Julien
