[PD-dev] changes in atom_getsymbol between pd 0.40-3 and 0.42.4?

[Martin Peach]

Maybe easiest and safest is to make sure sizeof(gphoto_gimme_struct) is 
big enough to hold some maximum number of args by declaring it a fixed size:

#define MAXARGS 339966
     t_atom argv[MAXARGS];

instead of

     t_atom *argv;

and then copy up to MAXARGS atoms in a loop:

     for (i = 0; (i < argc)&&(i < MAXARGS); ++i)
       threadargs->argv[i] = argv[i];

instead of

     threadArgs->argv = argv;

...or you could leave the struct alone and separately allocate the 
precise amount of memory for argc atoms, as

     threadArgs->argv = malloc(sizeof(*argv)*argc));

and then copy them over.
