Yes, odd. I used to have problems like that with the SC compressors. 
When tweaking they would go black sooner or later. Only for the track 
though. That's gone now. The release-note for 0.4.13 on 
http://plugin.org.uk/ talks about SC4 and Fast lookahead limiter 
denormals.

Hard to say, as some of the problems might, like you say, be in fact 
host problems, some of it were liblrdf problems, some denormals. My 
take on it is: use liblrdf-0.4.0 and swh-plugins-0.4.13. No more plugin 
troubles. Well, at least until Sampo made me try the vocoder, ha, but 
I'll cook up something for him alright :)
