Summary: aliases don't work

Initial Comment:
If you want [symbol2list] in a new patch, and create [s2l] it won't create.
If you have already created [symbol2list] with its fuyll name, then you can create [s2l]

If you subsequently create [symbol2list] then all previously created [s2l] wont get created unless you reload the patch in the same session. Loading in a fresh Pd session will give: "[s2l] couldn't create" for all [s2l] objects created prior to [symbol2list] when loading in a fresh Pd session.
Same problem for [list2symbol] and [l2s].

Other aliases will not affect each other. If I load first [symbol2list] only [s2l] will create afterwards and not [l2s] for instance.

Same behaviour for [init] and [ii] in IEM lib. And there could be others too I don't or haven't tested.

Pd version 0.43.1-extended-20110918
on Windows 7 starter edition (32bit)
