If I yank the M-audio Delta 1010LT card out of the machine, Pd runs fine. When I part the card back in, Pd freezes again. So the problem appears to be this M-audio card. The thing is...I Googled and searched this mailing list and it appears people use this card with Pd all the time with no problems. I need Pd and I need this M-audio card. What's my next step?
Weird that the card would crash Pd even with this command:
$ pd -nosound -noadc -nodac
Thanks,

Pd is still completely freezing my ubuntu Dapper machine. I have tried recompiling with Pd 0.40.2 and still absolute and instant freeze. So I tried the suggestion below. The debugger reports:
Starting program /usr/local/bin/pd [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1211066688 (LWP 6400)]
Then the machine is completely frozen again, so I have to pull the plug.
I also tried editing /etc/hosts as was suggested here: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-07/029853.html
and that didn't help either...
I have used this on many ubuntu Dapper machines so I don't know what's so special about this one. Could it be the 2 dual-core Pentium Xeons? Could it be the M-audio Delta 1010LT card?
When I run
$ pd -verbose
I get no response at all. Just the instantly frozen machine.
And I have tried the various flags (-nrt -nomidi -nosound) and others...

I have now tried
pd -nrt -nosound -nomidi
and it was the same thing: complete computer freeze with even mouse and keyboard not responding, requiring me to pull the plug.
I've tried both as root and not.
Can you try to start Pd under a debugger? That is: $ gdb /usr/bin/pd (gdb) run
and if Pd crashes and your machine is still alive try to catch a backtrace with: (gdb) bt
