2015 Crashes from VBA when callling vlisp function vl-vbarun with VL.app.16

[lando7189]

I've never had a problem using the VL.Application.16 from AutoCAD 2004 thru 2014.  Now in AutoCAD 2015, it crashes without any kind of message.

To reproduce the error, cut and paste this code to a VBA module:

Option Explicit
Public Sub vlTest()
Dim vlApp As Object
Debug.Print "vlApp object declared"

''## Either way causes autocad to become unstable
Set vlApp = CreateObject("VL.Application.16")
'Set vlApp = Application.GetInterfaceObject("VL.Application.16")
Debug.Print "vlApp object assigned"

Dim vlDoc As Object
Debug.Print "vlDoc object declared"

''## The crash occurs here when run using LISP vl-rbarun
Set vlDoc = vlApp.ActiveDocument
Debug.Print "vlDoc object assigned"

End Sub

Test 1:  in the immediate window in the VBA IDE, run the macro. Should run an print 4 lines.

Test 2:  run from autocad command line using VBARUN and select the macro.  Again, prints 4 lines.

Test 3:  Cut and paste (or type) the following to the command line in AutoCAD:  

(vl-rbarun "vlTest")

AutoCAD 2015 crashes trying to get the active VL document.  Even when debugging within the IDE, it crashes just trying to assign vlApp to a watch window when run from vl-vbarun.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

The above lisp function that crashes should be entered as:

(vl-vbarun "vlTest")

... then it will crash. Sorry for the typo.  - Lanny

Issue is fixed in AutoCAD 2016.
