[ardour-users] segmentation fault

[Chris Reisor]

At the momoent I'm less concerned with the cause than with a solution,
but I think I'm closer...maybe someone who knows what's happening
behind the scenes can tell me where to look:

I think I've removed all traces of the last track I recorded and all
of the LADSPA effects on all the tracks from the *.ardour file.  Now
the session starts to load.  On the right hand side, the list of
"Regions" comes up.  The error window comes up, but doesn't fill with
text yet.  I think the next window that is going to open will be the
mixer.  Then...

segmentation fault

Any idea what's offending?

Thanks,
chris
