If we weren't in the middle of the summer I'd be wondering whether this
crash bug should trigger a quicker version release than usual - I know,
2019b is just a month old...
In fact, this seems to be a pretty nasty bug. Francesca Di Iorio just sent
me an example with system estimation that produced the same crash in 2019b
but is ok with current git and snapshots.
I wouldn't be against an emergency release. The only problem would be the
removal of isnull() and isstring(); I don't know how many function
packages could be broken.
