While Ariella and I were working on tables we came across a bug while using variables. When trying to make a table we used the variable n for our table. Once we completed our table, that had four entries, we tried to right click on n, to see its value. The first time we clicked it did not give an answer, and then on the second click it crashed.
(When the small n in the right corner was clicked it crashed)
Bug v.41 Mac [FIXED]

Re: Bug v.41 Mac
Hi, Oliver. Thanks for the bug report.
Update: I was able to reproduce this bug, and it's different from the bug that was fixed in v42. I also found another bug -- you can't type column names into any slot of the "new table" block except the first one.
There was, indeed, a bug in v41 that could result in a crash when you viewed a table. It should be fixed in v42; let me know if it's not.
There is also a nice table viewer in v42 that allows you to scroll through large tables of data. I've tried it on tables with over a million records, and it worked fine. The only limitation is how much data you can fit in GP's memory.
