I just thought: could it be a difference in the memory alignment options 
of some externals vs pd itself? something that could change the 
sizeof(t_text) without having a different m_pd.h. However it still 
wouldn't explain the problem with dragging around, unless different parts 
of pd have different alignment settings (!).
