FreeAmp 2 sometimes crashing and crashing Psycle
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, 32-bit Psycle 1.10.0, and FreeAmp 2.5 from http://rekkerd.org/fretted-synth/
I was using FreeAmp 2.0, but 2.5 is also causing some crashes.
The problem is that, sometimes, when I press F8 to stop playback, FreeAmp 2.5 crashes, then it crashes Psycle:

One error message, then another, and lastly, Psycle crashing.
It can also happen if I don't have the song playing, and I am just entering notes for a sampler connected to FreeAmp 2. It also happened once when I clicked play.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1712024/freeamp25-crashtest.psy is one of the files I was testing this with, in case it's something to do with the particular parameters I am using.
It is being extremely unpredictable, unfortunately.
I had such a crash happen with just one instance of FA2.5 in a song.
On the other hand, I've gone for many minutes without crashes with four or five 'instances' (using copies of the DLL, based on what the plugin's readme says..), only to have it suddenly crash sometime later. Or not.
It's puzzling. It's actually bothering me, as I am having trouble triggering it, now, even though it happened several times, earlier. It makes me wonder if it's something to do with my computer, but this is the only VST plugin I've tried that is causing this.
Well, it seems like it's more likely to happen if I double-click the plugin to edit its parameters, close that window, then stop playback. Hmm..
Also, sometimes Psycle crashes when I exit it (only something that happens from using this plugin):

FreeAmp 2.0 was actually being more troublesome. I was sometimes having problems loading songs using it, as well, and it would bypass them. Sometimes not. If I unbypassed them, then it would usually crash (as I recall).
It's strange, as I had no crashing problems with FreeAmp 2.0 in OpenMPT (However, I'd get some occasional audio issue, where the sound wouldn't be right unless I stop playback and start it again. But I digress.) I haven't tried 2.5 in OpenMPT yet.
