Without seeing your patch this conversation is unfortunately entirely pointless. It could be that you're using a third-party external that somehow trips up and crashes when a pest I'd invoked, fails, and outputs bogus data that makes the external crash and that is something that I cannot even begin to backtrace without knowing exactly what crashed. It could be also that you are as you're suggesting mixing two different versions of preset abstractions which itself appears to be causing some of the problems you're encountering and the list goes on. To begin, you could provide a backtrace of the consistent crash so that we have some idea of what is going on.

sssad-objects created as [sssad something KEY] will send to KEY-SSSAD_ADMIN and
KEY-SSSAD, all others will send to SSSAD_ADMIN and SSSAD. To receive from those
semi-global [sssad]-objects, you'd need to replace the receivers next to the
sssad-objects that use the second argument.

Maybe you can search for "sssad" objects in your patch and try to find some
that use second args?

Also the semi-global/local receivers have been added at some time after
s-abstractions where born. Although old already, maybe you have a mix of both
versions installed now? The old one didn't have any $2-SSSAD senders/receivers
inside.

Shame on me, i did have two different sssad folders in my path. Now i've cleaned things up and there's only the one from s-abstractions - but that's not the solution yet.
I've noticed that s-abstractions dropped [presetstore] and that may have a good reason. Is it possible that it's actually not compatible with current sssad?
I've also noticed [saver] in s-abstrations/sssad which seems to be like [presetstore] (except that [presetstore] saved to subpatches while [saver] saves to textfiles). I've tried it and it doesn't work for me: "error: $1state-11.sssad: write failed". (It does create 0-byte files in s-abstrations/sssad though.)

[datastore] however, is still part of s-abstractions (it saves a single state to a subpatch), and it doesn't work here. I tried datastore-help.pd and it saves an empty state. What's interesting, is that if I try it while my other big patch is open, it consistently triggers a segfault.
