Steps To Reproduce:
1 Obtain the following plugins: Erzatz from http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?plugin=Erzatz&id=1631 and Echomania from http://www.vst4free.com/free_vst.php?id=564 and place them in a supported path. 2 Add some audio (mono or stereo does not matter) and make a selection. 3 Open the effect and play, waiting until playback comes to an end. The Play button in Transport Toolbar does not release. At this point, Audacity crashes (Erzatz) or freezes on 100% CPU (Echomania).

Description Gale Andrews 2015-04-23 19:25:14 UTC
Set as P2 because if two different plugins do this, there may be a systemic problem.
Comment 1 Leland Lucius 2015-04-27 21:21:26 UTC
The effects didn't like be called with a zero length block.

Fixed in a24adb5
Comment 2 Gale Andrews 2015-04-30 23:55:56 UTC
Thanks, Leland. 

This problem exists in 2.1.0 Release (even though it wasn't known then) so I removed the "was_fixed_quick" keyword.

Leant on Status by mistake - it is fixed.
