[PD] mac os x watchdog and error number -9997

[Samuel B Burt]

Thanks so much M. Neupert!  This was perfect.  I have PD running in OS X
in multiple user accounts.

I still have a few questions that I want to resolve over time.  Is there
a reason why pure data does not work with older versions of TclTk?  Has
PD been optimized specifically for the tcltk 8.5 install?  I still would
like to know why there are 0.36 extended installers out there that do not
work.  Would they work properly now that I have the right version of
TclTk?
