On a whim i tried to merge two fleets of the same type of ship that were sent to the same place from the same place.

The game crashed. I tried it in a different situation, and the game crashed again.
attached is the crash report.

I don't get a crash doing that, but I do get a weird graphical glitch where the whole screen fills with green (the empire colour). This is the same result as happens if:
1) Start new game
2) Do no zoom the map at all
3) Click empire's fleet icon
4) Order single-ship fleet to move
5) Drag fleet's ship onto new fleet

Zooming in/out first seems to prevent this from happening... sometimes. It's rather inconsistent.

I suppose the fix for your version is just to disable drag-drops of ships between fleets while they're not in systems, though.

I made some changes that prevent the graphical glitch I've seen in these circumstances, which will hopefully also prevent the OSX crash. Let me know once a new OSX build is available to test (RC2 soon?).

New build available (SVN 4601). See this post.

Yep, excellent.
I can't make it crash by trying to merge fleets in transit anymore.

Can you try the start of game / order fleet move / transfer all ships out of it test I mentioned above as well? I think it's the same issues as this bug report which had a different symptom, but similar means to produce it.

That doesn't cause any problems for me either.
