OK, so the message [string( is being interpreted by pd as a selector for 
A_STRING instead of just a message "string", because "string" has become a 
reserved word.

The latest version of the patch in cvs calls it A_BLOB instead of A_STRING. 
Does this resolve the issue? Or will it cause [blob( messages to go wrong?
