Thanks for the help. [abs~], an object I use frequently, was causing the problem. Every time I used "Save" in Pd, it would trigger zverbose, six times. I found six instances of [abs~] and replaced them with [expr~ abs($v1)] which did the trick!

I did not have any flags when loading Pd. I also needed level 2 logs to see the errors I wanted to track.

Fred Jan Kraan,

Thank you for reminding me about Comment. I used that instead of comment when I needed to control line returns, which it looks like I can do now with vanilla comment.
