Hahaha : ).
It was generating odd messages here, like [test $-7614554]. But I'm on an intel mac using Pd-Extended autobuilds, so that's probably normal.
Yes, I think a character escaping mechanism would be a good thing, though of course escaping is already used in the pd-fileformat so who knows what madness it would require.
Thanks again!

Hm... I'm not sure if your patch was supposed to "work" or demonstrate my issue, Chris... thanks for making it regardless : ).
It was supposed to solve your problem.
Thanks to both of yas! Should probably add this to puredata.org or something for posterity. Or a bug report since it's obviously a kludge.
If you consider it a kludge, then most of Pd is a kludge. ;)
I don't think it's that bad, or at least no worse than any of the other dynamic patching stuff. Maybe slightly better would be a character escaping mechanism like [$0(
Best,
Chris.
