Hi,
There seems to be a problem when using multiple Juce (VST) plugins in the same host. I am getting occasional crashes when I close the last plugin. Here is the stack trace of the crash:

To reproduce the problem, it’s quite simple. You can create 6-7 different versions (change the JucePlugin_PluginCode constant for each) of the Juce Demo plugin. Then run the Juce Demo host, scan the folder in which they are, and then try inserting 2-3 of them, then deleting the first, then the others. If you try this a few times, you are sure to get a crash.
It looks as if either the MessageManager could not be deleted, or was already deleted through shutdownJuce_GUI by another plugin(?). I haven’t investigated any further at the moment.
I have made sure to use RELEASE versions of both the plugins and host.
Hope you can come up with some explanation or fix, because this is a big problem for us, with our app crashing randomly at closing time, when deallocating the plugins.
Thanks!
Mariano
