{F5081919}MacOS with intel core i5 and NVIDIA GeForce 640M 512 MB
version: Blender 2.8 Alpha 2 (latest MacOS version as of 14 oct 2018)
When entering particle edit mode, Blender will always crash (I have tried repeatedly and did various changes (adding material, changing shape, altering hair count). This bug has been in the system in Alpha version 1 for MacOS too. Also now is a good time to point out that hair for any object looks very dodgy when added but the issue resolves itself when entering edit mode and out.
To get the bug
Open any new file and add any shape. Add a particle system and set it to hair. Enter Particle Edit mode.
