Have to eat my words. Nothing wrong with cyclone/svf~, it's just that Pd-E would erroneously load the help patch of bsaylor/svf~ after a click on cyclone/svf~ in the help browser (after bsaylor/svf~ was loaded once).
So the problem is with bsaylor/svf~, that's probably an easy fix. What about the help browser? It loads the wrong help patch because of a namespace clash. Will Pd never reload an external with same symbol but different path?

So I was going to replace type punning flush-to-zero in bsaylor/svf~ with something else, but first wanted to check how it behaves in Pd-E 0.42 and in latest 0.43 autobuild. As it happens, it gives no output sound at all in latest autobuild. It's compiled with fno-strict-aliasing. By coincidence it occurred to me to check cyclone /svf~. No sound either! In dutch we say 'alsof de duvel ermee speelt'. The issues may be unrelated. cyclone/svf~ has four inlets and one outlet now, while it used to have three inlets and four outlets.
This is with Pd-0.43.4-extended-20121221.app for OSX 10.5 i386 (but very unlikely that cyclone/svf~ has different number of outlets on other platforms). Weather forecasts are unfavorable for this weekend and I may spend some time on these issues.
