sorry. I thought this might be just something i set up wrong on my
system and maybe not very interesting for everybody.

Sorry not to be clear.
The difference is that the second is with an empty patch with no other
patch open on pd. The first is on my patch or in a new patch while my
patch is open.
So this is the sequence of events in both tests:

1 test - Open my patch on PD / create xsample / create xgroove~ / click 
or try to move xgroove~ or some pd subpatch in the same patch : Pd crashes

2 test - open pd / create xsample / create xgroove~ / click and move 
xgroove or any other object or atom on the same patch: No crash

I was using the version that comes with Hans distro 0.39.2-extended-RC8
Now i downloaded the version on your page. I get the same behavior.

The error i get with millers 0.39-2 is that if py is loaded xample wont 
load and the other way around. I load them by creating py and xsample 
objects, i mean i am not passing the path on startup.
