That's what I thought.  At some stage I'll submit my patch to vsti which
makes this change there as well.

It seems that the VST spec is not very specific about which functions can
be called in what threads.

Unfortunately not.  I'm still getting the same segfault which I reported
to this list on Thu, 27 May 2004 under the thread "jack_fst segfault".

If there's anything I can do to help solve the jack_fst problems, please
let me know.

Thanks
