[PD] flext glibc double free or corruption

[Thomas Grill]

Hi Johannes,
i am trying around with pool and xsample using valgrind but the only 
violation i could provoke is on quitting PD which is unimportant (but 
shortly fixed nevertheless).

I've had a few reports concerning strange effects with flext-based 
externals (e.g. vanishing pool), and all of them have been on 
debian-unstable. When i get the chance to debug on such a machine, i'll 
research further but on my gentoo installation everything is running 
smooth at the moment.

If you could use the debug version of pool (built with "flext/build.sh 
pd gcc build-debug-single") and run pd with valgrind, some helpful 
information could probably be gathered.

many thanks,
Thomas
