Summary: weird bug: dot in comment disappears
Initial Comment:
I found a very strange, very specific bug:
If have text in a comment that has a . in the second
position, and a space in the third position, the . is
not saved. But if you dynamically generate that
comment, the dot is saved.
This is Pd-0.38.4-extended and Miller's 0.39-2 on Mac OS X.

Yeah, comments are parsed by pd exactly like objectboxes.
it's just that no actual object is instantiated (binbuf_eval
is not called). That was necessary to avoid having to
introduce strings in pd and/or making a special case for
comments.

This bug works differently, however. Every number followed
by a dot and
a space is affected, however comments starting with a letter
and a dot
aren't. So this comment is okay:
a. something
but this isn't:
numbers: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Pd converts floating point numbers in comments if possible, so
they don't contain floating points anymore.
