[PD] lost messages (toxy vs. pd ???)

[Miller Puckette]

I think the behavior should be that Pd always treat an empty list
as identical to a "bang" message -- I'll try fixing pd_list() to do this.
Because this is so central to Pd's implementation this might break
stuff in unexpected places... so I'll leave 0.37 alone and do this for
0.38.

cheers
Miller
