[PD] linux bug - PD doesn't load properly on repeated starts

[david golightly]

Hey Devs,

I've found a bug, doubtless someone here knows what's going on - I've got
pd-0.39-2extended on my linux box running 2.6.15-4rt kernel/alsa/jack.  I
start jack, fine, start pd, loads & works fine, but if I close & restart pd
more than 3 times, pd won't load correctly anymore unless I reboot my
machine.  Pd window will open, command line reads:

normally, I see this (pd working correctly):

Pd version 0.39-2extended-test1
compiled 23:27:31 Feb 26 2006
port 5401
TCL_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/pd/tcl/library"
TK_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/pd/tk/library"  "/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui"
5401
Waiting for connection request...
... connected
device 2: tried /dev/midi02 READ/WRITE; returned -1
device 2: tried /dev/midi2 READ/WRITE; returned 5

I quit, then reload, the quit, then reload, and I notice that this time pd
didn't actually quit - although the window is closed, the bash shell isn't
freed.  Then if I restart pd, I see this:

Pd version 0.39-2extended-test1
compiled 23:27:31 Feb 26 2006
port 5408
TCL_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/pd/tcl/library"
TK_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/pd/tk/library"  "/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui"
5408
Waiting for connection request...
... connected
device 2: tried /dev/midi02 READ/WRITE; returned -1

and the Pd window will open, but the Windows and Media menus are not
populated, & I can't open any files.  pstree reveals 2 running pd & pd-gui
processes.  sudo killall pd; sudo killall pd-gui isn't effective in killing
them.

What's going on here?  Why is pd not quitting completely?  Additionally,
sometimes pd will cause the jack server to stop unexpectedly.

Hopefully this is a known issue & I've just done something blockheaded
here....

Thanks,

David
