Guenter (et al) - I tried all recent pd's for MIDI on my RedHat5.1/OSS system: 23-4 seg faults on MIDI out, only 23-4 BUT it seems I lost all MIDI function back at pd 23-1 !
Does this mean, 0.23-1 works, and 0.23-2 and 0.23-3 donŽt, and finally
0.23-4 segfaults (getting worse :)).
No, 22-4 -> all MIDI worked, 23-1->no MIDI worked, 23-4->seg.fault on MIDI out.
How does this ineffectiveness show itself ?
PD connects to MIDI port, all audio is fine, but in any 23 release, I do not have MIDI (although it appears to connect), and in the lastest release, MIID output cause immediate seg fault.
The step from pd-0.22 to pd-0.23 was rather big, but probably only
Miller and Mark can shed some light on what
really changed.
I suspect this error is more subtle than just your 23-4 changes, Guenter, because of the loss of fuctionality at 23-1. Your changes may just have exposed where RedHat OSS fails with new 0.23 scheme.

PS: my Keykit and playmidi programs are quite functional, so I doubt it's related to my *specific* RH setup.
