I am testing with 2 plugins: polyiblit and cheeze machine. The first works
and the second does not with my sources. I don't get a crash on the line you
quote though; I get the info on the cheeze machine OK, but then it crashes
when Csound allocates the instrument instance.

Unfortunately this sort of thing is hard to debug -- you pretty much have to
put in message prints to localize the problem.

I don't really know what my sources do different, but they load 
correctly Cheeze Machine, and even bulky commercial plugs like Absynth2. 
I've also tried Crystal, SuperwaveP8, Borderliner and Synth1 succesfully.
I've tracked the problem down to line 159 of  vsthost.cpp that reads:
aeffect = main((audioMasterCallback) VSTPlugin::Master);
If I replace this with the line from my sources, the error still occurs.
Can you think of something? It might be the way the csound API is 
loading the dlls...
