What causes the 83% bug?

[mrlmmsguy]

So I just got the NI Kontact 5 Player last night. The standalone worked fine, it loaded in LMMS nicely, and it played without any huge CPU spikes. Yet when I loaded the test file it saved it in, the project loaded to 83%, then stopped. Now I know this isn't anything new, but does anybody know what causes this? Thanks

Yes, Thats when the chunk created by the vst is absurdly humongous.
Its one of the reasons that you need to go through the vst-tests:

The wiki also explains how to fix the hanging project.
