Summary: Possible to connect the same in/outlets multiple times
Initial Comment:
When connecting objects through dynamic patching, pd can connect an outlet several times to the same inlet if sending the same message many times. The attached patch shows this behaviour, and why it can lead to strange and hard to find bugs.

Message:
this happens in canvas_connect in src/g_editor.c and happens in _all_
versions of pd ever, all OSes, etc. it is officially undocumented, so you
can't tell whether it's a bug or a feature, and you can reasonably argue
for either.

Sorry, here's some more:
This is a problem with both pd-0.41.4-extended and pd-0.42.5, on my 64-bit
ubuntu 9.04. It seems to happen regardless of sound card and audio API.

Please provide as detailed information as possible including which
operating system (OS), CPU type, specific hardware, and the exact distro
and version of Pd itself, etc.
For example:
Pd version 0.41.4-extended
Mac OS X 10.5.7/Intel
built-in sound
