I'll try the backtrace and other things you suggest and report back on mrpeach/tcpclient in another email.
it could well be, that it only does not crash with [iemnet/tcpclient] because you haven't parsed the output yet...
Don't think so - to crash Pd, I wasn't doing any parsing of incoming messages - just sending messages out.
Did a backtrace using mrpeach/tcpclient - on a "freeze" as it didn't actually crash. Got this response:

Will do some more tests later.
Thanks,
