Typically, "crashers" and "freezers" get fixed pretty quick in Purr Data.
The only freezer I remember with one of your patches was due to a broken object triggering an infinite loop in your patch's [until] object. I'm pretty sure that was an alpha or beta version, and I'm pretty sure I fixed whatever object it was that wouldn't create.
I don't see any other relevant crashers listed on the tracker:

What am I missing?
Nothing and I am sure you'll fix anything quickly. I didn't mean at all to doubt your sensible care about Purr Data. It's certainly well maintained.
I haven't reported as it seemed too tedious work for not being easily able to support Purr Data anyway. Many patches would require to move sliders and other widgets inside GOP windows around for them to become visible, which would make them invisible again in Pure Data and I can't remember other things that are not bugs, but design decisions. For me, supporting both of them is a lost case, so I decided for one.
If supporting pure vanilla patches to their full extent would be a stated goal of the Pure Data project, I'd have some incentive to report stuff, but it seems it isn't.
