A majority of plugins crash the program now, but I really can't complain, my lonely user install has worked very well for several years; there were some plugins I couldn't try, since they needed a system installation, but there really was a lot that could be used until [presumably] Mavericks.
Thanks for the crash reports.

Some of the reports don't implicate specific plug-ins at all. Is there anything specific you do with these plug-ins to cause the crash, like using them on very long tracks or at specific settings? Or does every use of the plug-ins cause a repeatable crash?

Four specific plug-ins are mentioned in the crash reports. We can try those sometime as long as they are free and don't require iLok.

Actually, this also happens to my Asus with Windows 10. After a successful perfect-pitched recording, after several entry into other tracks, I noticed my first entry of recorded voices warp and subtly dip in pitch. There was even an extent it sounded like a ghostly thing because of the vibratos. Haha.

Such distortions and warping added extra time to my editting since I have to creat a new trach to use as my dummy recording area and copy and paste it to the old warped sound.
