Yes, I've been finding them left and right. So far three have been squashed,
two of which crash Pd, and one causes potentially high-volume of extraneous
errors to the console affecting performance. As it turns out the regression
I located above has nothing to do with my fix (although the better fix is
the one I reported in my previous email where the raise all_cords call is
commented out, as it is not included in pd-vanilla anyhow and I cannot see
any benefit of having it there beyond causing aforesaid bug).

What really eats a lot of time, is lack of comments/annotations in the code
making it rather difficult to trace things down...
