IR.lv2 is know for causing issues on session reload and GUI access,
mainly due to https://github.com/FFTW/fftw3/issues/16  which results
memory corruption and undefined behavior.

Recent Ardour nightly builds come with a thread-safe version of the fftw
library (upcoming fftw-3.3.5 from git) which should solve this issue:
