[PD-dev] symbol bug?

hi list,

i encountered a strange phenomenon and do not know if it is a bug? is the dot "." a special character in symbols and i did not know?

following situation: i've got an ip adress aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd stored in a symbol. when i connect 2 chords at the outlet i get the full adress on the first outlet and only aaa on the second. also, if i use 2 netsend with connect messages in one patch the ip adress seems to get lost (except the first 3 digits) sometimes.

i've encountered this in 0.36, 0.37 and a recent cvs version. iohannes zmoellnig has also seen it happen, so maybe he could find better words to describe the bug/behaviour.

platform is linux, tried it out on two computers.

any comments welcome. martin
