I should have also added that I'm only using this functionality for relatively small arrays (500 values), and haven't tried using it for arrays which may be holding longish audio samples.

Just putting in my 2cents, but I've been using the bonus feature
of being able to write an array's contents to a text file with a

another message.

you could use soundfiler too using this approach. but it also has to allocate memory twice... i used this approach to exchange relatively big arrays (more than 50,000 values) between two instances of pd, using /dev/shm (or any ramdrive) which worked fine.
