Unfortunately, looks like I found another similar bug when loading [widget]. But [widget] fails to load at all:
Well OK, I'm still not clear on why the string patch should be the cause any of that.
i don't think that your string patch has anything to do with _that_ one.
Yesterday I committed a change to the patch which just involves renaming string to blob.
i think the problem is, that your patch introduces "reserved" symbols in the first place. personally i would remove the entire [string <...>( message and replace it by a [list <...>( (don't use a special selector)
I would like to know if the problems go away with that. (What's a consistency check? It's c++, right?)
no, it's a pd thing. you also get this when you use weird (that is: non pd-ish, user-defined) atoms and pd doesn't know how to handle them.
i am currently thinking of a proposal for user-defined atom-types, which can be registered like classes and then be used by objects like [str],... and (that is the important thing) do not interfere with each other. i need this for a separate project, and it would be a cool feature for pd to have.
