Yes, what seems strange is that s_list and s_signal were defined in the shipped pd.def but not in pd.lib...

Why?
I used these variable because I assumed that they are more efficient than using `gensym()` (and as they are defined EXTERN I also assumed that they can be used).
But yes perhaps a better solution would be to generate and store the symbols in the new method of the object using `gensym()` (and it will be the same but for the sustainability of old codes, these symbols must be included).
Thanks
