for the sake of seeing how many packages are impacted by this problem,
i've done some testing.

i downloaded the newest version available on deken for each package that
has a binary available for my platform (Linux/amd64), and attempted to
load the binaries in there with a double-precision Pd.

in 24 of these packages there was at least one binary that crashed Pd
(see attachment).

two notes:
- binaries that did not load (not even on a single-precision Pd) were
not tested.
this includes (some, but not necessary all) binaries from the following
packages: Jamoma, extra, hcs, iem16, libdir, mrpeach, ofelia, pdp,
pix_drum, pix_fiducialtrack, pix_mano, purest_json, tclpd, unauthorized,
vanilla
- most externals from thomas grill crash, which suggests a problem with
flext.
