ladspa-swh-plugins and Rosegarden segfault

[Martin Tarenskeen]

Hi,

I recently tried to start up Rosegarden again, haven't used it for some 
time, but it crashed with a segfault right after the opening picture.

I watched the messages in my terminal trying to figure out what went 
wrong. I then decided to uninstall ladspa-swh-plugins using Fedora's 
package manager.

After that Rosegarden started working again.

I first removed whysynth-dssi which also didn't work anymore, and also 
produced some warning message in Rosegardens startup messages, but that 
seems to be an unrelated problem. After re-installing the (still not 
working) whysynth-dssi, Rosegarden was still functioning normally.

Now I am trying to find out: is something wrong with rosegarden and/or is 
ladspa-swh-plugins broken on my Linux Fedora 23 system?

If ladspa-swh-plugins is broken, then shouldn't Rosegarden notice this 
without crashing with a segfault?

Ideally, yes, Rosegarden should handle misbehaving plugins better.

There are updates for both whysynth-dssi and ladspa-swh-plugins in
Fedora's updates-testing repo.
Could you try them out and leave positive or negative feedback at
bodhi, if possible?

Thank you
