Hey, This is probably mostly for IOhannes. IIRC, the code that causes the "error: maximum object loading depth 1000 reached" stuff was related to the hexloader. Its checked into Pd-extended, but the hexloader isn't used in Pd-extended right now. Is there some other reason to include this patch? Here's the original reference.
well, it might be used for any sys_loader dealing with abstractions (or rather: objects that include other objects).

That does sound useful indeed. Are there any plans for such a loader in the near future? I think we should try to keep Pd- extended as close to Pd-vanilla as possible, so I am thinking that we should remove patches that aren't being directly used, but then we can add them back in once they are being used.
IOhannes,
Mind if I remove this patch for this release? I think that the 1000 line "already loaded" dump is currently too common, for whatever reason, and since this functionality isn't currently in use, as far as I know, I think it makes sense to keep this patch out until the whole abstraction loader thing is figured out.
I am fine with adding it back in whenever its needed.
