Hi,

trying to get plugin~ running, I have found a strange behaviour with
with pd's (0.34 linux) startup file, ~/.pdrc in my case. It seems, that
this file has an upper limit in the number of options. I can start pd
with the plugin~-lib loaded in the following ways:

$ pd -path /usr/lib/pd/extra/plugin~/
$ pd -lib /usr/lib/pd/extra/plugin~/plugin~

Now I tried to put one of these in my startup file. The result are
segmentation faults:

rcfile option = -lib /usr/lib/pd/externs/iemlib1
rcfile option = -lib /usr/lib/pd/externs/iemlib2
rcfile option = -lib /usr/lib/pd/externs/iem_t3_lib
rcfile option = -path /usr/lib/pd/externs/iemabs
rcfile option = -path /usr/lib/pd/externs
rcfile option = -path /usr/lib/pd/doc
rcfile option = -path /usr/lib/pd/extra/
rcfile option = -path /usr/lib/pd/extra/plugin~/
rcfile option = -alsa
rcfile option = -font 10
rcfile option = -realtime
rcfile option = -midiindev 22
Segmentation fault


But if I remove "-font 10" or any other option from ~/.pdrc, I can start 
plugin~ via the rc-file. So is there an upper limit of options, I can store
in my rcfile?
