Most of this seems to be a plug for your plug-in, and I don't see any evidence that 3rd party plug-ins in general crash. Make sure that you are not using undoccumented features that have changed, and that you are validating return values before trying to use them (if adding clothes fixes the crash then it sounds as if you are getting and not catching a null pointer when looking for fitted items)..

Richard, this was in response to user Austin McGuire's tech support request regarding issues when using HeadShop 2025 LT in DS 4.24. We checked and indeed when applying HeadShop morph, the Genesis figure completely disappeared (not a general crash). Mind you, HeadShop 2025 plugin was working on all previous DAZ Studios....Maybe you want to refrase your comment....

That doesn't really rule out its being an undocumented call (which may then have changed) or not validating something (possibly undocumented) because in the past it gave a pointer and now it gives a null (which would of course be a risk with undocumented featues, but might also affect others).
