[Bug] Windows access violation on qudi restart

[kay-jahnke]

Version

current main

What is affected by the bug?

When having some modules loaded and clicking restart on qudi, it reports a Windows Access violation:

This seems to be coming from the parentpoller that actually restarts qudi. Maybe some thread was lingering that should not exist anymore.

When does the bug occur?

load some modules in qudi. click restart.

The error appears irregular. One affected System: Windows 10 Pro 21H2

How do we replicate the issue?

Restart qudi after having loaded some modules. The error appears only seldom and very irregular.

Expected behavior

restart qudi without any errors.

Relevant log output

The error does not appear in the log, because the logger stops at shutdown. Nevertheless, here is the last part of the log:

meh... and there was hoping. Quite hard to track if you can not reproduce it somehow.
