Hi there,

I have spent some time tracking a crash occuring with "Virtual Midi Controller" ( http://www.soundcosoftware.com/vmc.htm ) Apparently, this virtual midi device is still calling the callback (once) after the stream has been closed, so I am not sure if portmidi is really the one to blame. The callback is called with wMsg==MIM_CLOSE , and it causes a crash because the callback is protected by a critical section which have been destroyed.

So I suggest patching winmm_in_callback with a "if (wMsg == MIM_CLOSE) return;" placed before the EnterCriticalSection code. At least it seems to work well here :)

btw, about pm_dll.dll : I don't use it in our host, and so far I have never experienced/heard of windows crashes so I would say it can safely be omitted, at least for winxp and vista.

Best regards,
Julien Pommier.
