Just discovered this last night. Should I file a bug report?
When a float or numeric message (is this the same type as float automatically?) is sent directly to [makefilename %s_PD.aif], PD freezes, and then segfaults/crashes on the next input of any kind. I know this is not how this object should be used, but still PD should be robust enough to handle this kind of type error without totally dying.
Simply sending a text-message to the same object without using a [symbol] object to set the type results in a far more benign:
error: makefilename: no method for 'dave'
best, d.

just upgrade to at least Pd-0.41; this bug has been reported and fixed in the past.

yes

hmm, should we go through the entire equivalency-of-messages-thing again?

OK, I'll go through all the archives... want to stick with 0.39 until I know more about what changes in 0.40, 0.41... and want to stick with Extended. I guess there's no retroactive bugfixes ;-)
best, d.

Move the bug report to Pd-extended, and I'll include the fix. I have
been backporting bug fixes from 0.41
