[PD] gatom length and osx problems

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

It seems that 80 is quite short for [makesymbol].  Any reason not to  
make it longer?  I think most filesystems have a limit of 256 chars for  
filenames, for example.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the  
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of  
it."
