model crashes when nothing is loaded

my bugs-list says :

model crashes when nothing is loaded

FIXED 01/01/04 POSTED 10/25/02

BUG: if rendering is started without a model being loaded before, pd crashes ANS: seems to be fixed sime time ago...

note the ANSwer section which mentions fixing.

Concidering that I don't want to wait until a newer version is

release how

can I use the program in such it wont crash on me?

it rather: yes you can use the program in such that it will crash on you (but you don't have to)

anyhow, make sure you are not using gem-0.87 (non-cvs) this is considered buggy. i strongly encourage people to use the cvs version until the final release of 0.88(8)
