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~].
