i don't know either but i guess it's something like
C) making it "official" would effectively prohibit changes to the internally used protocol for creating patches (not that this is likely, giving the history of backward-compatibility in Pd). it's similar with all those private headers, used by numerous externals...
Anybody please correct me where I'm wrong.
I don't think you're wrong on this but, what about
[until] object that can just
crash/hung the COMPUTER and not only pd?
if this crashes your COMPUTER, than you have tweaked your OS-settings in a way that allows an ordinary user-space application to take all the ressources available. read: you asked for being able to fry your computer. normally an open [until] will only hang Pd.
On winxp it will consistently freeze the computer, forcing a reboot.
