Deleting (or renaming, or in any way causing to recreate) any jit.gl.slab object that is assigned a shader and has had data passed through causes Max to crash. If I don't have the slab pointed at a shader or a rendering context, it does not crash. If I have not yet passed data through the shader, it does not crash. *Occasionally*, if I turn off the metro driving the associated jit.gl.render object, it won't crash, but most of the time it does (I'd guess 98%). Removal of the slab object while rendering is in progress causes Max to crash 100% of the time.

I was able to cope with just being annoyed in the past, but now that I'm using javascript to create and delete objects dynamically, this is a back-breaking issue.

Does this happen to anyone else, or does anyone have any suggestions for possible fixes?

Below is an example patch. For me, deletion of the jit.gl.slab object at any time after turning on the toggle for metro causes a crash.

my first recommendation would be to download the 5.1.9 update and see if the crash still occurs.

Unfortunately, updating to 5.1.9 had no effect on the issue.
