android - ActionBar compat + Spinner gives SIGSEGV 11 -

i have application i've been working on while. uses google's appcompat action bar spinner navigation , working fine last week.

today, recompiled , app crashes without call setnavigationmode(actionbar.navigation_mode_list).

in logcat see sigsegv fault.

i have been able reproduce problem creating new android studio project using actionbar, blank activity action bar spinner navigation , absolutely nothing code generated android studio.

i have tried using following components:
- android studio 0.50.0 under windows 8.1
- android studio 0.5.2 under osx mavericks
- actual android 2.3.4 hardware
- android 2.2 emulator under windows
- android 2.2 emulator under os x.

the problem exists on combinations of compiler / platform.

i have been trying specify specific versions of appcompat in build.gradle. but, same problem regardless if use compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.1' or compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.0'

does have clue might going on here?

output logcat , emulator running under windows:
