Are you using any externals? I know someone had some problems with the Yves Degoyon grid object. I made a patch for it that was a quick fix. I think I still have it somewhere. If you want it, let me know.
Reading this, a discussion I had at the ICMC comes to my mind. For one of the installations they were using a Macintosh with MAX, the artist told me that they had to reboot the machine every day. I asked why they didn't consider using pd (we have already several long term installations that run over years !).
The answer was the following: They were told that PD comes with all these extensions, which makes it really useful, but that these extensions are really buggy. Thats why they preferred using MAX.
Their fault I know, but it made me think ...
