On my Linux system running PD 0.21, the following patch fails; there seems to be a problem with the Message object interpreting non-numeric $-variables. If the contents of the message box is changed from "foo" to a number, it works.

-- snip --

#N canvas 0 0 174 142 8; #X obj 96 6 r a; #X obj 98 36 print a:; #X msg 41 50 ; a $1; #X msg 37 19 foo; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #X connect 3 0 2 0;
