[PD-dev] Malloc Error occuring with PD 0.41.4

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

So it is not the GUI, but 'pd' itself having the issue:  
pd(272,0xa03ce720)  My guess is that maybe its a 32-bi/64-bit issue.   
I think that a 32-bit app can only address 3 gigs of RAM.  Pd is  
buildable has 64-bit, but there isn't a release for Mac OS X built as  
64-bit yet.
