I think the behavior should be that Pd always treat an empty list as identical to a "bang" message -- I'll try fixing pd_list() to do this. Because this is so central to Pd's implementation this might break stuff in unexpected places... so I'll leave 0.37 alone and do this for 0.38.

you seem to be sending an empty list -- check if this is the case with an explicit 'list' message. This is usually a synonim for 'bang' (e.g. if sent to a [print]), but not always (e.g. not for a [v], which ignores it).
wait ... if i understand it correctly, a bang is represented by either an empty list or a "bang" message, the function class_addbang is only working for the message bang... "print" is also using the class_addlist function that's working for empty lists, too...
for me that's a bug in the _language_ pd ... since it can take hours to figure that out ...
anyway, thanks for the explanation ... tim
