I assume, but I don' t really know. I am not actively using my
64 bit machine anymore, because it is a bit old and slow (533Mhz and
terribly small cache).

I assume that externals that deal with arrays have in general the same
problem as the pd builtin objects.

mhm, might be that some of the datastructure stuff has problems. If you
say unstable you mean crashing right ? Would be interesting if this is
a problem of pd itself or some externals. If you are going to do tests,
maybe you can start pd inside gdb and do a "bt".

Yeah, I recommend to do that on an extra hard drive/partition.
There might still be some problems left.
