all that allocation and de-allocation at every message just makes my skin crawl... maybe we should find a better way to do it... or just use Martin's string patches ;-)
When I made the [str] external that uses the string atom, I found that constantly reallocating/resizing memory eventually crashed pd so I ended up just allocating a big wad of space up front for each [str]. If the user can set the initial size of this memory then the amount of wasted ram may be minimized, but the default is quite large.
