Hi there !
As we had problems with crashes when using the textfile and qlist objects I investigated what the causes could be and came up with a small patch against x_qlist.c.
This has been a few weeks ago, the same problems seem to occur with 0.28, therefore I'm posting the patch, which helped me to solve the problem.

(PS: if you are in the "src" directory, you have to apply with "patch -p2 < patch-0.28-qlist" )
Thanks Guenter for tey another bug fix... I've stuck your fix where it will get into 0.29 (whenever I get that far...)
I don't know of anyone who has goet netsend/receive ported either to JMAX or Max/MSP yet. It would be a good thing though...
As always, however, beware the security implications of netreceive! (I'd be grateful if anyone knows an easy way to put some kind of secure authorization protocol under netsend/netreceive.)
cheers Miller

I think that there may be more than one solution to this problem
- adding a filter mechanism to netreceive, so it will only
accept a certain set of messages.
- netreceive only accepts connections from certain hosts
- authorisation
For installations and the like, having a firewall will always be a good idea.
