Summary: GUI stopped working after TCL error in H10.measurement.pd

Initial Comment:
First my info:

Pd-0.43.1 ("extended-20120424") compiled 10:32:22 Apr 24 2012
& Pd-0.43.1 ("extended-20120404") 
on squeeze/sid Debian GNU/Linux AMD64

I get this error in the GUI when trying a different filter in Pure Data/03.audio.examples/H10.measurement.pd :

(Tcl) UNHANDLED ERROR: wrong # coordinates: expected an even number, got 1
    while executing

Here is the debugging output I got from running "pd-extended -stderr -d 5 2> out.log":
http://ue.o---o.eu/txt/54075780c6d159cca0e3fbd5896cf5a6.txt

Steps to reproduce:

1. start pd-extended
2. open help browser
3. goto Pure Data/ => 3.audio.examples/ => H10.measurement.pd
4. replace the text in the bp~ object box with hp8_butt~ (a filter from iemlib)
5. hit the bang on the top left of the patch
6. take a look at the main window of pd for the error

After this the GUI also stopped updating any changes in the valueboxes and I have to restart it.

"rdz" from IRC tried to reproduce it with the following versions on Ubuntu 10.04:
0.43.1-extended-20120318 and Pd-0.43.1-extended-20120404-ubuntu-lucid-i386.deb

BUT he was not able to reproduce this behaviour and the graph in the patch was plotted properly for hp8_butt~.

We were both using mostly the same tk/tcl major version. Mine is:
tcl8.5             8.5.11-1
tk8.5              8.5.11-1

I also experienced similar problems with other examples and my own patches, but I was not
able to reproduce them properly yet.
