personally, i still think that this is NOT a bug with pd but a bug in the patch.
Yeah, its probably not fixable without limiting flexibility. Any good programming language will let you crash things in certain ways (fork bomb, infinite loops, rm -rf /, etc.). Exception handling would be a nice solution to this, but that's not an easy one to implement.
Hi,
I think the case should be investigated. A segmentation fault in Pd is a bug and should be avoided. What about delaying the clear message to the canvas ?
If it can be fixed without loss of features, even better. A delay sounds plausible, tho I have no specific info.
