I am getting an error running GridLabD on MacOS Sonoma 14.7. The compiler used is Clang

bash-3.2$ cc --version
Apple clang version 16.0.0 (clang-1600.0.26.4)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin23.6.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

GridLabD was built in Debug version

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install_lib> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

On running --version, I get the following error

bash-3.2$ gridlabd --version

GridLAB-D 5.2.0-19880 (281cf249:feature/730:Modified) 64-bit MACOSX RELEASE
WARNING  [INIT] : unable to set thread policy: No such process

Backtrace shows the error is in glcore/module.cpp

When running autotests (I tried tests from generators/autotests and powerflow/autotests, the test crashes with a segmentation fault at the same location in the code. Here's the fault location and the backtrace
