Definitely some commonality here !
Without actually instantiating - just simple plugin discovery -
I get this *identical* crash at host shutdown with these plugins:
Glitch-2.0, DiscoveryDemo, HighLife-1.1, Tonespace

These plugins do not cause the crash, even when they are all loaded:
AspectVST, BitMangler, Equinox, my_synth4, String_VST, String_FXVST,
TAL-Dub-3, TAL-Reverb-3, TAL-Vocoder-2, VEX, ZR3.
Found the reason for this and will fix this in the next Glitch update:
We called "XInitThread" before calling "XOpenDisplay" somewhere deep
in our graph port API code. This of course doesn't make sense for a
shared library cause XInitThread must be called before calling any
XLib functions. When called after a display already got opened, this
seems to to bad things when closing this display again.
But if the other plugins (DiscoveryDemo, HighLife-1.1, Tonespace) do
freeze muse for the same reason, a "XInitThread" call in muse, before
opening the XDisplay should fix them too?
I remember we had similar problems in Renoise with older JUCE plugins
on Linux. I think JUCE plugins rely on "XInitThread" to be called by
the host, so we added it for Renoise too.
