i don't know, if the planet ccrma rpms are compiled with debugging
information, but you could try to find at least the function, where pd
crashes (try a debugger like ddd, when pd crashes try backtrace)

yves patches are working quite well, on my system, but, please correct
me if i'm wrong, pd isn't a thread-safe application (at least 0.36
wasn't, i'm not sure about 0.37), so these patches are a working
solution, but a build-in solution with thread-safety and a working
handling for long lasting operations as suggested by thomas grill will
definitely be needed for a "stable" release of pd

well, it shouldn't be that difficult to get apply this patch and compile
it yourself ...

apply this patch, use the -rt flag, a small window manager (not kde or
gnome), your interrupt settings seem to be ok ...

btw, what buffersize are you using? i'm not sure, if it's related to the
buffersize ... to me it seems, that without yves patch, i get less
clicks using very high buffersizes (around 400 ms) ...

take care...

burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across
the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and
everybody goes "Awww!"
