Okay that way its better something wen't wrong with the submission :) I altered my control/popen with MAXPDSTRING as Mathieu proposed and it did the trick, although as he mentioned it should block if a cmd is even larger than that.
best regards, Pedro p.s.: just tell me if its needed to re-submit to the tracker, I gotta learn how to use it once and for all!

Seems like a good time to take inventory on the options here, since there seem to be many:
flatspace/popen (aka control/popen) moonlib/popen motex/system ggee/shell
To me, moonlib/popen looks better than flatspace/popen since it allows reading and writing to the pipe.
