[PD] problems and crashes - "warning: settings multiply defined" (on new hardware and OS - Debian 8 64-bit)

[Ingo]

That's what I thought, too. And that's the way it was before.
But earlier today when I started two instances separately (by double clicking 
a .desktop starter or putting two .desktop starters in a autostart folder) any 
table in each instance was readable from the other instance.

I have deleted the table in the second instance and the warning disappeared 
but I could still read the values of a single table of the first instance in 
the second instance.
That absolutely doesn't make any sense to me.

I just checked it again and the table was NOT readable now (as expected). This 
morning it was, though!
I had been starting the patches from two .desktop starters in 
/etc/xdg/autostart.

It could be possible that when the patches crashed and I restarted them that 
they might have still be running.
It's raher confusing to me that it did it earlier today but not right now. 
Maybe I did restart them by double clicking on the patches instead of the 
starters???

Anyway, that wasn't the source of my crashes. After having renamed the tables 
in question the crashes were still there.
I'll have to further investigate in both issues.

Thanks anyway!
Ingo
