And, more specifically, Taverna does not start with the discrete card, but if I start it with the integrated one, and then I switch, everything works correctly. This makes me think that whichever component causes the crash it is not fundamental to the application.

I think the Taverna app for Mac OS includes a bundled Java 7
distribution which is probably not updated for the latest Retina
displays.

Would you be OK testing if it would help help with a newer Java?

I'm afraid you would have to install it manually.


Download from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

You might need to enable the full JCE encryption or delete your
keychain from ~/Library/Application Support/Taverna* 


Then try the "Standalone" ZIP version of Taverna:
(http://www.taverna.org.uk/download/workbench/2-5/core/#download-binary)

Start Terminal, try "java -version" first, then 
go to the folder where you unpacked the standalone ZIP and 
run ./taverna.sh 


If this works, then you can try to modify the Taverna.app folder and
replace its "jre" folder with a copy of the one you just installed.
