Crash with PA_SetVariableParameter in v11.2

[Jeffrey Kain]

Hello,

We have a plug-in that we wrote for ourselves and we found a place where
PA_SetVariableParameter was being passed a '1' for the 4th parameter.
This flag indicates to clear the old data from the destination variable.
For some reason this causes a crash in v11.  Changing the flag to '0'
fixed the issue.

Just FYI - the workaround is easy (we were already clearing the data
manually anyway) but maybe this can be fixed in a future version of 4D.

Thanks for this. It sounds exactly the same as the crashing problem  
that I've been having with my plugin. The plugin works perfectly with  
4D 2004.7 but running it in 4D v11.4 causes crashes. I'll go change  
the 4th parameter.

I'm unsure based on the documentation, what exactly does that 4th  
parameter do?
What changes should I make to my code depending on whether I pass 1 or  
0?
