[PD] netpd broken?

servus roman, list,

i wanted to demonstrate netpd today here in melbourne and failed. on a intel mac os x 10.5: with a fresh pd-extended 0.4xx and downloaded netpd.zip i can open
_chat.pd. then when i click on creator additionally a blank patch
pops up called "pd cr.singletons" the console spills out:

netclient ... couldn't create error: inlet: expected '' but got 'connect' ... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu. error: pd-cr.singletons: no such object

i can reproduce the same on my own machine os x 10.4 ppc.

also there is a small documentation bug:

it reads: START netpd

• start pd and open _chat.pd
• click the 'settings'-bang
• set your name
• click the 'save and close'-bang
• talk to other netpd-people and start a session

there is no 'settings"-bang, it's called 'pref' and doesn't look like
a bang. inside is a 'save&close' button.

suggestion:

• hit the 'pref'-button to set your preferences
• set your name
• hit 'save&close'

ciao, max
