With VA 1418 installed (and either enabled or disabled), when you use the SmartTag functionality (the little popup button that happens when you type in a function name that doesn't exist) the whole IDE crashes.

Repro steps:

1. Create a C# project in Whidbey Beta2 or later.
2. In any part of the code, type in this.foo();
3. Notice the SmartTag underline appears under foo
4. Click on the smart tag. Select "Fill method stub"

If you don't get a crash right then, undo the filled stub, and repeat steps 3-4. Usually it takes 3 times for it to crash.

This same crash does not repro with VA uninstalled, but it does repro with VA disabled!!

Incidentally, why does VA re-enable itself when you disable it from the AddIn manager in Whidbey? (Repro steps: uncheck all VA boxes in add-in manager. Restart Whidbey. VA comes up enabled, and if you go to add-in manager the same boxes are checked.)

Thanks
Eugene
