Now I see your problem. It seems that every time you click on the second Terminal window (the one you just spawned), the whole Terminal app restarts and the (second)...

This problem may be specific to `open()`. It doesn't happen hooking some other system calls, like `read()` and `proc_pidinfo()`. And, interestingly, it also happens with [Alacritty](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty).

Thanks for this information. I'll keep it in mind.

I've never seen anything like this. It happens so deep in system code that it probably isn't due to a bug in HookCase. Please provide as much information as possible...

I've finally figured out these kernel panics. You're using the [OpenCore Legacy Patcher](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher). For now at least, HookCase is incompatible with it. I just used OCLP myself to install macOS...

Actually, I'm no longer sure you're using the [OpenCore Legacy Patcher](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher). Your MacBook Pro ([model id MacBookPro15,2](https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i5-2.3-13-mid-2018-true-tone-display-touch-bar-specs.html)) supports macOS 12 natively, so you don't have any need for OCLP. Instead...

I've found a reference to those puzzling kernel boot-args, in [source code for macOS 12's xnu kernel](https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/xnu-8020.140.41/bsd/kern/chunklist.h). They seem to belong to Apple's `boot.efi`. I still don't know what they...

I'm recategorizing this yet again. I no longer believe you're using OCLP, though I can't help but think there's *something* nonstandard about your setup (which might explain your "chunklist" kernel...

I've just released HookCase 7.3. Please try it out. If you really are using OCLP, see [Using the OpenCore Legacy Patcher](https://github.com/steven-michaud/HookCase/blob/master/3-installing.md#using-the-opencore-legacy-patcher) for detailed instructions on how to set `kernel_stack_pages`.

It turns out that "chunklist-security-epoch=0" and similar boot args are unrelated to this bug. I now always see them on macOS 11 and 12 -- whenever I've booted from real...
