I was playing on bootcamp windows 7, worked perfectly. Installed on mac 3 days ago, worked perfectly. Yesterday it started crashing randomly while playing.
when it crashes: approximately an hour apart, none of the circumstances are the same (first time was on loading trading post, second was in the middle of attacking a bat. Just now, it happened twice in 10 minutes while running in WvW – but I hadn’t played WvW before).
I believe it’s the same error that pops up each time. I took a screen shot of it, attached.

A serious error has occurred that prevented the application from continuing. A report has been sent to ArenaNet to help determine the cause.
Computer Specs:
MacPro5,1
6-Core Intel Xeon 3.33 GHz
16 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5870
running on a PCIe SSD (also the startup disk)
Come to think of it, just after the first time, I think the trading post was inaccessible (down for maintenance I assumed). Maybe I just need to reinstall it? couldn’t hurt. I’ll try that, but I wanted to report the bug nonetheless.
