Clearing the data window before saving is a way around this problem. You can also save the data to an external file before closing the patch and then restore from that file later. This seemed to happen for example if you use structs with large arrays.
Is there a way to save the data directly from the subpatch? Or would the data need to be copied into a textfile object, and written from there?
You can save directly by sending "write filename.txt" to the subpatch-receiver (like [write file(---[s pd-data]) and read back in with a "read file" message.
What I am trying to get at is it would be nice if it were possible to create this instance data, pass it to the objects that need that data, and then have it deleted from the subpatch once it is no longer required. I am working on creating some granular synthesis stuff, and as a result, there is a lot of data that gets generated. I found this out the hard way, as one of my patches (when I accidentally saved it) ended up being on the order of 18 megs, and this made me wonder if there is a limit that PD has while running in realtime.
The funny thing is, that running such a 18MB patch is no problem, however opening it again after saving is a problem. Hopefully this can be sorted out sometime.
