this is really interesting. i didn't know that and i thought the 2 cases 
would behave exactly the same (i obviously haven't made any tests to 
prove it)
the problem with dynamic patching is that the outlets are not yet 
defined so a loadbang distributed to them would go into the void (ok, 
_this_ has been discussed); but there would be no problems just for 
internal initialization, so it could (should?) behave exactly like jmmmp 
described their problem.

either it behaves the _same_ as dynamic patching or it doesn't stop halfway.
