[ecasound] Bug report: strange crash

Hello,

A feature recently introduced in nama (single effect bypass) has brought
up some strange behaviour in ecasound. When the effect being bypassed is
removed, or around that event, ecasound segfaults. Here is the
information I have collected thus far.

Perhaps most interestingly, I could not reproduce the segfault with the
debugging option turned on which seems odd. Instead, with the debugging
option, the bug I reported on Friday was triggered while the actual
effect removal proceeded without nastiness.

Chain of event:
Here is a snippet of a log describing the transaction:

Attached, you'll find a log made with strace, which isn't really
informative but does print out of few warning, the relevance of which
I'm not quite certain, and a backtrace obtained with gdb, though without
debugging symbols.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Cheers,
S.M.
