Curious if anyone else has had this happen to them - Activity Monitor (which I usually keep running to keep track of my CPU usage) crashes once every so often. No particular action or connected peripherals when it happens, but it does spit out an error report when it happens and opens back up without issue (until the next crash). Normally I would just write this off as a bug with the program but, given this is a system utility in the third major update of an OS, it has be a bit worried. Running 10.12.3 on an 15" Late-2016 MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar. Beginning of crash report bellow. Suggestions?

Mine does that too if I leave it open long enough. Maybe the continual tracking of things that overflows something somewhere.

Experience any other issues or just this? Just trying to make sure there isn't something else more serious going on.
 
No, no other issues. (Or nothing unusual. Rarely get a beachball in Safari, almost always fixed by closing a tab and reopening it. Can get slow after a long video viewing session without a restart for a few weeks. That kind if thing.)
 
Not much feedback from other people but I thought I'd leave this here just in case. Sent in some diagnostics and spoke to an engineer on the MacOS team - it's apparently a known issue that they're currently working on.
