Minecraft crashes immediately at launching: "mutex lock failed: Invalid argument"

Hi! I just bought Minecraft on my son's account, and I just downloaded the launcher (Mac). I moved it to Applications, and as I'm running the app, it immediately crashes. Mac provides a long crash report (see the attachment). How can I make it work????

Not sure about "affects versions", I have no idea what to put in that field, but it was required, so I just picked something.

The error message is the following:

Application Specific Information:
abort() called
terminating with uncaught exception of type std::__1::system_error: mutex lock failed: Invalid argument

 

 

Edit: I made it work, but on the Admin account on Mac. However, it still crashes when launched within my son's account on Mac (labeled in the System Settings as "Standard", as opposed to "Admin"). I'd prefer for my son to play in his dedicated Mac user account, though.
