Summary: Pd patch crashes on load

Initial Comment:
I wrote a simple randomisation patch for loading up sequenced wav files, which worked last week.  Now for some reason it crashes Pd when I try to load it!
This is on Windows Vista Business, 32-bit, Pd version 0.41.4-extended (I made sure I installed the latest version and tested with this before reporting the problem).

I have tried running with –noloadbang startup option, and also running as administrator, but no luck.  I am using some non-native objects so that may be the issue..
Problematic patch is attached.

Ah, that just rerouted things.  I found that changing this line:

#X obj 847 386 s track_num;

to this:

#X msg 847 386 s track_num;

AND ALSO changing the print objects to msg objects, actually fixed the
issue.
I hope this helps.  I can attach a working version if need be!

Message:
I have found out that removing the lines:

#X obj 609 338 print filename;
#X obj 881 366 print tracknum;

from the file allow it to load correctly.  But these are only print
objects!  Why could they be causing a crash?  Anyway my initial problem is
over..
