>If you look through the pd-l2ork C code, which is by and large near identical (at least in its core) to pd vanilla (except for comments I added while studying the code) you will find a few places where mainly due to the way pd handles GOP it is easier to simply catch a tcl/tk command than go through all the trouble of making sure the call is sane. The rest of the code contains  a series of sanity checks I added and as such spews no tcl/tk warnings or errors. I
suspect this would be trivial to merge with your code base.
