Summary: 0.41-4 mac binary doesn't accept arguments

Initial Comment:
The MacOS build version 0.41-4 doesn't accept command line arguments when e.g. run as "/Applications/Pd-0.41-4/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -noprefs - lib my_lib". This worked in 0.40-2 and is very handy for debugging purposes.
Please bring back this useful feature!

Wierd... I get this too.  As a temporary workaround, instead of working
inside the
"App", just untar the source, ./configure and make -- then the args work,
I think.
I'll try to figure out why they don't when it's an App...

funnily enough we decided yesterday to file a bug-report about this very
issue, but thomas was faster :-)

it is _really_ annoying when doing development/debugging.

interestingly enough, the only argument i found that actually was accepted
is "-help", which gives you all the arguments  that are unfortunately
ignored...
