Max 6 intermittent crash with very simple patches and dropouts

    Hi all, I have a very serious issue with some installations.
    The problem happens with some different computers, running different versions of Max6 and different patches.
    The console shows always the same error before crashing : kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0xffffff800b10a000]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: counted 3 clip more than one buffer ahead errors. discoveryd[49]: AwdlD2d AwdlD2dStopBrowsingForKey: '_raop' Browsing service stopped discoveryd[49]: AwdlD2d AwdlD2dStopBrowsingForKey: '_airplay' Browsing service stopped com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.cycling74.MaxRuntime.21332[253]): Service exited due to signal: Segmentation fault: 11 ReportCrash[404]: Saved crash report for Max Runtime[253] version 6.1.9 [c65762b] (6.1.9) to ... ... ... etc... /DiagnosticReports/Max Runtime.. ... .crash
    The patches are really simple : - examples of art installation : Only playing a movie, and displayed on external monitor and sound played onto a USB fireface UC.
    Or another one, just a ping pong game with sound synthesis, not huge patch. Usually, it crashed after one or two days running, i never saw it happearing before.
    In all cases, there was always a connection by UDP or OSC, between computers. In all cases, the running os x was 10.9 or 10.10. I don't have the problem on my 10.7 macbook.
    I don't know if the issue has any connection to see with network or os x... Always, the only softwares installed are : Maxmsp // java // teamviewer // quicktime and that's all. I believe what happens is that computer is frozen during a very short time, maybe useconds or milliseconds, and that makes lose the audio driver communication.
    Is anyone experiencing the same problem ?
