Hi folks
I've just spent/wasted nearly 2 days of my life trying to get Tracktion (the sequencer that I'm the author of - scoot over to http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com for more info..) to support the SR202 without endless crashes, and finally given up.
Annoyingly, it's the feature that I added because SR202 users asked for it - namely that Tracktion should re-load the settings for a plugin when you re-open the edit - which seems guaranteed to make the damn thing crash, and so makes it useless within Tracktion.
I can get it to crash repeatedly, but can't narrow it down any further than that fact that it always follows a call to effSetChunk, usually in the next call to effSetChunk. Maybe someone from Muon is reading this and can have a look to see if they're corrupting memory somewhere?? And if they want to get a copy of Tracktion and try to debug it, I can tell them exactly what to do to make it happen.

Jules,
Drop me a mail, I'd be happy to help. SR202 v1.01D is working extremely well in hosts that correctly support the Chunk methods so I'm sure we'll find the bug in your code soon enough.

OK, I'm not able to reproduce this bug using the demo. After loading a kit into SR202 I can open and close the editor as much as I like. Having said that, I set a breakpoint on the chunk methods and it didn't hit them. Did you update the demo to include this new code also?
Having said that, I don't know if there are any restrictions on the demo version but SR202 seems to be unable to reload its kit upon re-opening the project.
If the demo is unrestricted then my guess so far is that you're simply not handling the chunk methods correctly. You should make sure your host provides as much space as the plugin reports that it needs, there's no upper limit in the spec and you shouldn't implement one.
I'd be happy to discuss this with you further via email.
