[PD] Weird behavior of [moocow/bytes2any], or not?

[Bryan Jurish]

moin Alexandros,

looks like you're creating an "any" message with the selector "float",
which iirc pd interprets as it does the output of a [float] object. without
further arguments (the float value), the float's value defaults to zero.
 if you really want the symbol "float", prefix it with the selector
"symbol" or "list".

happy solstice,
  Bryan / moocow
