I'm getting a crash in OpenMayaUI.dll after calling finishAddingManips() from within the connectToDependNodes() callback.

I currently have two distance manipulators which map to simple distance plugs. The code almost identical to the sample code from footPrintManip except I have   
added a second distance manipulator for a second plug.

What gives?

The stack looks like this:
