The "Blender: Reload Addon" action causes an access violation with recent version of Blender

[jessey-git]

Starting with the bug here in case this addon is hooking into something it's not supposed to now?

Steps:

• Start with default blender scene with an addon running in vscode.
• Execute the "Blender: Reload Addons" operation

Git bisect blames the following commit: bbaa1bffe9dbc35d2791b83d0014ccb4ffb6087a

The AV looks like:

Exception thrown: read access violation.
scene was nullptr.

Same for me, the recent blender versions will terminate as soon as vs code tries to reload the addons. Reloading them manually still works though, so the issue must come from the "Blender: Relaod Addon"-command.

Same happens to me.

Sergey may have just fixed this on Blender's side: https://developer.blender.org/T65806

A new git build works for me again!
