Natron's breakpad crash reporter blocks Safari and Mail on macOS

[deein]

Hi dear MrKepzie,

I have an issue with Natron, when I launch it my safari can't open any pages. But when I close Natron, thats works.

I don't know if its a know issue.

Tell me if I can help you with some log files or something else. :)

[EDIT] It also blocks Mail.app from displaying message contents

I first thought this was a joke, but no... Natron blocks loading an URL in Safari (10.1.2 on macOS Sierra here) by clicking on a bookmark or entering an URL, and as soon as one quits Natron, The URL loads! Clicking on links on an alredy loaded page works, though...

Tested with Natron 2.0.5-2.3.2 on macOS Sierra.
Frankly, this looks like an OS or Safari bug, unless someone gives me a clue

The bug is related to breakpad - the crash reporting system. This is a serious issue.

To disable completely the crash reporter, type the following in a terminal:

cd /Applications/Natron.app/Contents/MacOS
mv Natron-driver Natron-driver.orig
ln -s Natron-bin Natron-driver

Safari works fine after that.

Should be fixed by switching to crashpad, see #1223 NatronGitHub/Natron#145
