i have this problem with iem 1.15 The problem is still here when i compile the libs...
could you send me a tiny(!) patch that reliably triggers the crash? ideal would be a messagebox connected to [splitfilename]. like
[symbol /this/message/crashes/splitfilename( | [splitfilename /]

are you sure? your patch does not crash here ;-)
the patch you send me is just one of the standard ways to use [splitfilname]. (it really looks like a help-patch)
of course, [openpanel] might output a symbol that crashes [splitfilename], but it didn't do so with any random file i opened. this was exactly the reason why i asked for a crashpatch: have a _reliable_ and _reproducible_ way to trigger a crash. (not just sometimes).
in order to proceed could you please: find a file that always crashes pd when you select it with the openpanel in the patch you sent me. then make a patch like:
[bng] | [openpanel] | [set symbol $1( | [ ( | [splitfilename]
press bang and select the filename that crashes [splitfilename]. press "ok" in the openpanel-dialog. save the patch. verify that it crashes by clicking on the messagebox which shows the filename. send me the patch with the bad symbol.

Not all bugs that cause crashes, can be made to crash 100% of the time (I have a damn lot of experience suffering from that kind of bug).
It can help to use the valgrind / valkyrie debugger, which detects a lot more bugs than gdb (but isn't a replacement for gdb: it's more like the Purify program).
Beyond that, there are some bugs that still are unexplainable using valgrind, but those are a lot rarer.

This patch always crashes Pd on several machines (FC6 & Windows)

thanks a lot. this is exactly what i was looking for.
it crashes with an old iemlib (r1.16); it does _not_ crash with the current CVS version of iemlib. (btw, the same happened to me this weekend: i got reproducible crashes with [splitfilename] during the rehearsals for a concert; but i couldn't reproduce them when i tried later on my dev-machine)
so i suggest you upgrade to the latest and greatest version of iemlib.
