No, you're not the only one. If I trash preferences it works fine for a while, but after 30 or so autopunches, it starts to crash again.

I still have run into a few problems with auto-punch "audio tracks" in DP 5.1. It has improved since 5.01. It seemed to be ok initially, Started noticing it more when monitoring through tracks instead of direct hardware playthrough.

Have noticed that at the punch out point there is a large CPU spike. If the spike goes into the red it will crash DP 5.1. It also seems to be worst when punching into existing audio, particularly when punching on multiple tracks.

Raising the buffers helped a bit but this will increase latency beyond acceptable levels. For those who work recording bands or sections all together and also need to monitor from tracks with effects this could still be a big problem.
