Summary: plugin~ help patch needs replacement
Initial Comment:
We have known for years that the plugin~ help patch can crash Pd if the requested LADSPA plugins are not present on the user's system. The issue has been addressed on the mailing list dozens of times, and a corrected help patch posted years ago by Frank Barknecht, however it has not been updated. As a final attempt, I post it here in the hopes that someone will take a few minutes to deal with this finally.

Message:
hmm, i tried both this help-patch and the one that comes with
PdX-0.42rc1.
both crash.
therefore:
- the attached patch doesn't fix any problem, since the crash can be
triggered by the user at any time (the bug is in [plugin~] not in any
help-patch)
- the attached patch doesn't fix the symptoms either
anyhow, thanks for the report
