VisualEffect.Stop() or setting Spawn Rate = 0 causes crash on Android.

Desired effect: Stop spawning and let existing particles die out naturally.
Tried two methods: VisualEffect.Stop() or setting Spawn Rate = 0 via an exposed parameter (or a vary low rate like 0.1f). Both methods failed on Android.
Observed effect: Works fine in editor. On Android (Pixel 2 and 3 tested), the app crashes once all existing particles are gone. (In other works, at some random point in the future. Very rough debugging session.)

After stopping, a few seconds later I get one or more of these:

2020/09/24 21:01:20.692 10902 10955 Warn Adreno-GSL <gsl_ldd_control:549>: ioctl fd 58 code 0xc040094a (IOCTL_KGSL_GPU_COMMAND) failed: errno 71 Protocol error

And then these:

2020/09/24 21:01:21.682 10902 10955 Warn Adreno-GSL <gsl_ldd_control:549>: ioctl fd 58 code 0xc040094a (IOCTL_KGSL_GPU_COMMAND) failed: errno 35 Resource deadlock would occur

At which point the screen freezes up.

This is such an obvious edge case and common use case, I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong? And if not, what's the best work-around?

 

I have the same issue.
And it's find if I turn alpha to additive.
My VEG version is 10.9.0
