Message:
attached is a patch that checks whether there are multiple format
specifiers, and if so, complains and refuses to work.
this effectively prevents the crash (though it still does not enable
multiple format specifiers)

the patch applies to todays git master.
raised priority since it is a crasher bug.

Message:
while the docs are a bit confusion about this, [makefilename] really can
only handle a _single_ format specifier;

so using a format-string like "%s-%s" is illegal.

however, Pd should never segfault
