[PD-dev] pdstring's crashing

[Bryan Jurish]

moin again,

having had a closer look, i'm 99.9% certain that my code is at fault
here (said error is typically produced by writing beyond an array's
bounds); so now I've stopped writing the trailing NUL to the string
populated by binbuf_gettext() -- there might still be a bounds problem
with other dynamically allocated arrays (x->x_argv comes to mind), but
since freebytes(text) is failing, "text" looks like the prime suspect to
me...

the new code has been checked into cvs as externals/moocow/pdstring
v0.04 ... let me know if it works (or doesn't)... and send me some
sequence of inputs that reproduces the error if you can find one...

marmosets,
	Bryan
