Its caused by the help menu, which is a kludge until a real help  
browser gets implemented some time in the future.  You can disable it  
by commenting out one line in pd.tk, line 569.  Change:

     menu_doc_submenu $mbar.$help_menu_name "." "."

to this:

#    menu_doc_submenu $mbar.$help_menu_name "." "."

and it'll be disabled.

Which patches?  This could be caused by so many different things.

add "freeverb" to the list of libs to be installed.  I added it to the  
pd-settings.reg.

Its already in the included pd-settings.reg.  You need to load the lib  
"rradical" to use it, or prefix the object name with "rradical/", i.e.  
[rradical/ezdac~].
