when an object cannot be created, Pd prints the error `foo couldn't create`
so the user knows that the object failed to instantiate.
unfortunately there is no way to easily find this failed object (in a huge patch).

this patch uses `pd_error()` to print the error-message, so the failed object is
findable via:
- *Find last error*
OR
- *Ctrl-clicking on the error-message*

the patch also reduces the error to a single line,
so you get 

    [foo] ... couldn't create

rather than

    foo
      ... couldn't create
 

the buf0-logic works even if resizebytes() actually fails...
