good to hear.
basically it was just about using freed memory, which naturally leads to random
crashes.

i just tried and it seems to work for me (on linux): tried [pix_rtx] (with
[pix_video]), [pix_rds], [pix_aging] and [pix_halftone] (with [pix_image])
to set the m_processOnOff when turning rendering on does *not* seem to be a good
idea, as it is the On/Off flag for the pix-fx (e.g.: you can turn off an effect
by sending a 0 to the leftmost inlet) as is defined in the floatMessCallback of
GemPixObj.

furthermore i don't think that the problem is hidden in the m_processOnOff (who
would turn it off ?); the only changes that have been made, effected the m_cache
(resp: m_rightCache) so probably we should look for the bug in there.

could you send (or mention) a patch that does not work ?
