maybe it is just not true that the 'crash on windowclose' happens
all the time under windows: right after writing my last mail i had a
series of such crashes under linux, and today i can only reproduce
this behaviour under windows whe i change something in a relatively
big patch. load my 'groovebox1'-patch, remove/and re-add a
connection, close the window, and pd crashes. (on a samsung x10
laptop running winxp sp2).

i had this messages also before i discovered the .reg file
for setting the path-defaults. and gem was not loaded.

that explains why it is not there.

maybe later this century. ;)

it happens with all patches. on my (faster(?)) linux-box the
(displayed) cpu-load is about 1.5 times higher, and stays
relatively stable at this value, while on the windows-laptop
it constantly changes between lower and higher values, but the average 
is clearly lower than the value on linux.
maybe i should build something to max out the cpu to see which computer
is really faster...

bis denn!
