I agree with all said....
If the application was crashing (and not effecting the host or any other apps running); and you did not have explicit authority to change the app; then you were "crossing the line" to fix the app without authority.
On the other hand, the situation gets more complex if you have responsibility for the host and the host or other apps are being effected by the crashing app.
What was the case here?
Was this a single application server? Or are there multiple users with apps under their authority?

TALAGENT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TALAGENT(8)
NAME
talagent -- helper agent for the Transparent App Lifecycle feature.
SYNOPSIS
talagent [command [arguments]]
DESCRIPTION
The talagent daemon provides services related to the Transparent App Lifecycle feature. talagent may also be run manually as a command line
tool to output information about persistent state.
The options are as follows:
-help
Outputs usage information.
-dump bundle_id_fragment
Outputs the persistent state of an application whose bundle ID contains the given fragment, case insensitive ("textedit" for example).
You may also pass a path directly to the app's persistent state directory, usually in ~/Library/Saved Application State.
-launch bundle_id
This launches an app (in this case, TextEdit) in a manner approximating how apps get launched at login. You can pass either a bundle ID
fragment or a path to an app. The app is maintained stopped until you hit return in the launching window (or until it receives SIGCONT).
This is the easiest way to test the login scenario without needing to log in.
-casinfo [ASN]
With no arguments, outputs summary information about all apps. With one argument (an ASN), outputs the CAS record for that app.
-memory_pressure
Simulates memory pressure, which may cause apps that support automatic termination to exit. This does not actually allocate any memory.
-refresh_encryption
Rotates the bitmap encryption key, and attempts to cross-encrypt all existing window bitmaps under the new key. This is done periodically
by talagent.
