Comment(by domiman@…):

 I kind of resolved this with the Dosbox developers. As we tested their
 dynamic CPU core is not compatible with 64bit OS X (works on 64bit Linux),
 so for a 64bit port of Dosbox you'd need to pass --disable-dynamic-core to
 ./configure. This would prevent the crash but without dynamic core Dosbox
 is much slower, especially in the "newer" build games like Blood (in a DOS
 benchmark the socre with dynamic core is 50, the score without is 3.5).
 So my recommendation is to build it in 32bit (just like you do for other
 ports that have problems in 64bit, like Wine).
 In 32bit I have no problems with Dosbox, both with the 0.73 release
 sources or actual SVN of Dosbox.
