Hi

Having problems running a very simple sketch that sets `size(2000, 2000, P3D);` in `settings()`. The error is as follows:

```auto
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGILL (0x4) at pc=0x00007fff3f20ab1b, pid=639, tid=0x0000000000001803
#
# JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_202-b08) (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.202-b08 mixed mode bsd-amd64 compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# C [CoreFoundation+0xab1b] CFEqual+0x293
#
# Failed to write core dump. Core dumps have been disabled. To enable core dumping, try "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Java again

```

I have enabled the core dumps as it suggested using `ulimit -c unlimited` and `ulimit -H -c unlimited` (as suggested here - [12.10 - How to remove limit on core dump file size - Ask Ubuntu](https://askubuntu.com/questions/220905/how-to-remove-limit-on-core-dump-file-size/468985#468985)) and restarted but no change. Testing on another computer with the same version of processing works just fine. Anybody know what this issue is?

OSX 10.14.6, Radeon Pro 555X 4 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB, Processing 3.5.4
