while doing a routine static code analysis of the pd-sources, i stumbled upon the following lines which do not make any sense to me:

https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/src/g_readwrite.c#L343-L3...

this looks very much like: x=a; a=a; a=x;

which, all in all, i think doesn't do much.

is this by intention, or is there some copy/paste error?
