Repeatable 3188 crash: jackd start in Linux VM

I upgraded to Parallels Desktop for Mac v3188 yesterday. In my standard Ubuntu VM, I can now generate a repeatable crash of the VM and Parallels by starting jackd (the standard Linux audio connection framework) with any frames/second setting besides the standard 1024.

To reproduce:

* Install an Ubuntu VM
* Install the "qjackctl" package
* Start qjackctl (via "Applications" -> "Sound & Video" -> "JACK control")
* Select "Setup"
* Change "Frames/Second" to 256, 128, or 64. Select "OK" to close the setup menu.
* Select the "Start" button.

The VM and Parallels will crash in about 2 seconds every time in my configuration.

This didn't happen on v1970. I'm curious if anyone else can repeat this crash behavior so as to make a nice simple test case for the Parallels team. If it can't be repeated, maybe there's additional characterization I can do to figure out if the problem is dependent on some some other local configuration.

While there appear to be a fair number of 3188 complaints on these forums, Parallels crashes are probably a high priority to track down.

Thanks.
