Description Garrett Regier 2014-12-19 19:45:49 UTC 
If PeasEngine is freed with an alive extension than the PeasPluginLoader backing that object can be freed and cause a random crash when the extension is used.

This only affects Lua plugins with a PeasEngine using non-global plugin loaders.

This still needs some tests.

Otherwise, it could cause serious issues.
