[PD] Peculiar counter behavior.....

[chun lee]

Hi there:

I am stuck on something very very simple but I can't seem to explain what
happened......

Its about making simple float accumulator/counter patches. It sometimes
work, but sometimes not and I can't figure out what makes it work or not
work.

The attached patch contains two counters, one of which works but the other
doesn't. However, the failed one is duplicated from the one that works apart
from changing [+ 0.1] to [+] afterwards. The duplicated one fails after one
cycle.

Could anyone take a look and educate me?

Many thanks

CHUN
