[PD] multiport MIDI problems in 0.33-TEST5

[Miller Puckette]

Hmm, the "system call timed out" messages mean that Pd was trying to
open something (MIDI output I bet) and the open() call was just sitting there.
This can happen if something else on the system already has MIDI open 
for output.  There might also be other reasons I don't know about...

cheers
