[PD] Gem or pd leak?

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

I'm running with the 1541 NV drivers with a 2.4.16 kernel without 
problems. are you running redhat? I found that redhat behaved 
different with the same gem version and same nvidia driver version 
(segfaults on "destroy")

I do have on problem with this setup though, In order to create a 
stereo window one must first create a normal window otherwise the 
creating the stereo window segfaults pd. anoying but not much of a 
problem (that with gem 0.86)
