If you have any insight on this, please talk to me about this, because I'm 
trying to incorporate more recent versions of Miller's pd into DesireData, 
and DesireData is based on devel, so I'd like to know what's wrong. I am 
having problems with getting sound to work on my computer too (running in 
just 32-bit mode), but some other people report that sound works on 
theirs.

Do you mean that it doesn't work with pd 0.40 and/or 0.40 ? which one? 
what's the error message?

Tcl/Tk is possibly one of the language/interpreters/libraries that are 
most careful about backwards-compatibility, so I wonder, what did you do 
that broke compatibility. Do you mean something in an add-on to Tk, or in 
Tk itself?

This is because you are trying to get the height of a window before the 
window is put on the screen, right? Else, what can it be?

I don't see how that is the cause of what's going on: it looks like a 
different problem. Are there still any problems with server->client data 
getting truncated when the buffer overflows?

Have you tried Miller's 0.41 in 64-bit mode? does it fix your problems?
