the [text3d]... objects expect a "string" message with pdstrings

your string-patch adds a special message "string" for your strings.
i think that is where the problem comes in: A_GIMME != A_STRING

that's a good question. it is likely that the problem occurs with 
pd-0.40 (and there was no pd-0.40 before)
