No, you're right, it doesn't need those libraries. I put them in to try
and use them to get an audio visual capture of ergates in action.

Hmmm, that is not a very good sign. This looks like a bug in an
external, or Pd itself, but it might be related to the crash that others
are experiencing. I haven't yet got Gem + pd-0.40 working so I can't
test out what they're talking about. I'll try and do a fresh checkout of
the code and see if I can reproduce it.

The very small Python script that reads joystick events and sends them to
Pd does so using a udp network connection to localhost. I think what's
going on here is it's trying to connect to the crashed Pd instance
and failing.
