Qtractor shows the "jackd has been shutdown" message when the connection to the jackd server fails miserably. Usually, specially with the latest jackd incarnations (ie. > 0.109.2) it also means that Qtractor is doomed and all hope must be left behind, at least until you restart jackd. So, when that message shows up, you better quit qtractor, stop jackd and then restart qtractor and/or jackd.

Regarding those segfaults, you should consider taking the steps to help debugging as is explained in the user manual, mainly by rebuilding qtractor with debug information compiled in and taking a gdb back-trace from the eventual segfault core dump. You can and ought to send me the back-trace. We'll see whether the problem is due to qtractor bad behavior or one of the plugins. One thing I do know already though, the mdaPiano native VST plugin is not what one might call rock-solid stable. At least in my limited experience. Others may vary ;)
