Another test version... I still am working on 2 bugs.
The biggest change is that I updated tcl/tk to version 8.5 in the Windows compiled package.
It's on the usual http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm or:
git clone git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data
It seems that test5 is crashing in certain circumstances during patch editing, where test4 is not crashing under the exact same circumstances.
What happens is that when I change the arguments of a certain abstraction and the click to the empty canvas to let it re-instantiate with the new arguments, Pd segfaults. Also, when editing that said abstraction (many instances are used in the patch) and then saving it, Pd segfaults.
Since this happens in a not so small project, isolating the problem and creating a small test patch could be quite time consuming. Would a gdb traceback already help to track it down?
This on Ubntu 11.04 with Pd-0.43.1test5.
Sorry for this vague bug report. I thought it's better to mention it even when I cannot provide enough useful information yet.
Can you reliably reproduce the bug? Having a complicated patch with steps to reproduce the bug every time is still helpful. If the bug is intermittent, have you confirmed that it really doesn't happen in test4?
