[PD-dev] symbol bug?

[Thomas Grill]

Only a wild guess, but the . is special in that sense that it is the decimal
separator for floats.
An IP address does superficially look like a floating point number.
Could there some conversion between symbols and numbers happen somewhere?

best greetings,
Thomas
