i used to get this on windows due to improperly closed MIDI ports. i think it was also better to manually choose 'quit' from the menu instead of just close the window. if you are using OSS MIDI,  have you tried ALSA MIDI (and vice versa)". as for the jack crashes, i got that a lot too when trying to use pd, have you tried the cb_Scheduler with JACk in devel? 


unfortunnately, ,tyheres something about stuck driver ports, and remote filesystems, that makes processes immune to killall -9 (or the windows equivalent). pretty annoying..
