Much to my alarm, Pd 0.49test3 prevents loading multiple instances of a patch, and release notes tell us that this is on purpose. Moreover, when trying to load a patch twice, pd becomes unresponsive in some cases.
The new behavior is a show stopper for projects that rely on, or benefit from, loading multiple instances from a patch. As it happens I'm currently working on such a project. So my questions are: what is the rationale behind this 'feature', and is it really going to stay?
