Yeah, its looking pretty clearly tied to the MIDI stuff, especially
since there have been recent changes to the OSX MIDI stuff. Anyone
want to file a bug report?
As for the -nogui thing, you need to have the standalone Wish Shell.app
installed from
http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/
I use TclTkAqua-8.4.9.dmg. And then you need to launch:
"Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -nogui".
