[PD] GRiPD and shell don't play well together

When I run pd with GRiPD library loaded, the shell external doesn't ever 
finish and a couple of calls to it eventually completely hang Pd. This 
is without the GRiPD library actually doing anything...just loaded. The 
GRiPD library seems to play well with other externals and the shell 
external works fine with everything except GRiPD.

I am hoping this is an easy fix in the shell source code, as I can't 
seem to successfully build the GRiPD module so I am using the ancient 
.pd_linux binary included with its source code. I know the GRiPD is no 
longer maintained, but it happens to be perfect for our project so at 
least in the short term it makes sense for us to use.
