Lately, I keep getting kernel panics, with the report indicating that the culprit is the Spotify desktop app. I'm on a 2014 iMac, with huge amounts of RAM and free space, and I've done a hardware test and found nothing.
Today, I reinstalled the Spotify desktop app, but that didn't help. (If anything, the kernel panics now seem more frequent.)
I did find some old posts about Kernel panics from Spotify, and that Apple was working on a solution, but clearly whatever they cooked up didn't work.
Is there anything else I might try?
EDIT: Here is the log I get after restart. As discussed above, it does not show up anywhere under /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports, merely in the "Your computer restarted because of a problem" report right after I turn the machine back on.
