Bonus Tools is broken in 2018.3

Curve to Tube Mesh (Bonus Tools) is broken in Maya 2018.3.  It completely freezes Maya, and forces a hard "End Task" in Task Manager.

Works for me. Although the at first use after each application start it takes way longer to finish, about 15-20s. Which I guess is, because of some update routine which runs at this point. From script editor:

# pymel.core : Updating pymel with pre-loaded plugins: ... <lots of plugin names>

So, if your Maya is freezed for a longer period then this routine might be the cause ergo some plugin?

Thanks NandoStille.  That was it.  I waited 16 seconds for it to complete the action.  Unbelievable.

Hey,
I have the same behavior. Maya hangs for about 20s.

It's getting harder to work. Old mistakes are not corrected, but new ones appear. It's unbelievable.
