[counter] cannot create.

please be more specific about your setup:
- OS

- Gem-version

, Pd-version

- the order of magnitude of number of images you are trying to load

- size of images

- amount of RAM increased each time you load an image

does the problem persist if you disconnect [pix_image] from whatever
comes afterwards?
