[PD] netclient/netserver mangling messages

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I am using netserver/netclient to send list of info that has been 
converted to a symbol using [list2symbol].  Somewhere in the process, 
some of the messages get chopped up at seemingly random points.  The 
examples below only break at spaces, but sometimes it will break in the 
middle of the first work (i.e. mo tion).

I think the problem is on the [netclient] end because sometimes, one 
computer will work fine, and the other will chop up the messages.  The 
patches are attached.  They use Krzysztof Czaja's [tot] and zexy's 
[list2symbol].
