Had a problem with DP 9.1 and Altiverb 7

A quick note for you guys: A couple days ago, DP quit launching completely, for no apparent reason. I had not updated or installed any software, and as a matter of fact, I had been happily working on a project, where I quit DP and restarted the computer. When I tried to launch DP again, it would begin the launch and "unexpectedly quit" every time. So I trashed prefs, reinstalled, repaired permissions, blah blah, to no avail. Then, I tried DP 9.02, and it wouldn't come up either.
Obviously a plugin problem, so I booted DP with the option key down.. didn't take long to nail it down to Altiverb 7, and both the AU and MAS version would cause the crash. My version, I'm embarrassed to admit, was 7.1.0, and now we're on 7.2.8!
So I updated, and everything worked perfectly! Yea!
Still it's curious, that all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Altiverb decided it was too old and quit working. There was no warning, and seemingly nothing had changed on the computer? I know Altiverb logs onto the internet from time to time because it shows me the new IRs that are available, and keeps an account of which ones I have downloaded.. sneaky little devil, that's probably how the problem started.
