[PD] testing 0.41-0test6 notes

[ilya .d]

i think that happend overnight .. so may be 8 to 10 hours ..

i use alsa + rme hdsp pci card.

it might be still because of my pd.tk .. i didn't finish w orking on it
, so alsways get errors because i just commented out all the stuff about
menus .. - it prints stuff like this 'invalid command name ".x745c20.m.windows"'.

i'll get back to original pd.tk and have a look if it crashes again when
i have some time.
