[PD] how to set variable types

[derek holzer]

Just as a note... I've been using Miller's version of Pd 0.39 on Gentoo 
Linux/PPC since last December without any serious problems. In fact, it 
runs better, faster and more stable than on OSX on the same machine. You 
might consider compiling that version over the extended version and see 
if that makes a difference for you. It could be some "extended" aspect 
of the code which is giving problems rather than core PD or Tcl/Tk.

best,
d.
