[PD-dev] devel_0_39 ? devel_0_40 ?

[Miller Puckette]

This explains a lot!

Now for the hard part: in Pd, 32-bit floating point tables are stored as
64-but 'atoms' for a 50% hit in memory efficiency.  Something Must Be Done;
but what?

OTOH, I'm falling out of my chair for joy that there's finally a way to 
write C code that doesn't choke on denormals.  

Life is indeed really simple, but I remain baffled :)
