I have a strange problem: Helm hangs when trying to open the GUI in REAPER. I also tried wrapping Helm in a Carla rack: first, everything seems fine, until I try to open the GUI. Then, again, REAPER hangs. No excessive CPU usage, just doing nothing and no interaction possible → killall reaper. This happens with both the VST and LV2 versions (LV2 only in Carla, of course).

Helm works just fine when I start Carla standalone. That's how I'm currently using it (assign MIDI output in REAPER track, wire that to Helm/Carla, wire the audio output back to another REAPER track) – but that's more a workaround.

There seems to be some dissonance between REAPER and Helm. Any ideas how to fix this?
