I did some testing of P3s response to MIDI loops last night, and it should
behave itself fine.
All that happens is that any message arriving at the input gets
re-transmitted, and then arrives again, so the MIDI bandwidth is used 100%
and the message constantly reappears in the transmit buffer.
This causes the transmit buffer to fill up as more messages start looping,
and eventually overflow, but once overflowed, the buffer size is reset.

So, P3 should continue with normal operation, except for the fact that MIDI
bandwidth will be completely saturated, and some transmitted messages will
be lost each time the buffer overflows.
I've added code to detect this, so future versions will display a '[i] MIDI
OVERFLOW !' message if this happens.

But this means your crash problem must have another cause.
It could still be loop related, but there would need to be a specific
message that causes a problem.
I'll do some more testing.
