[PD] pd-ext 39-2 rc4 (deb package) crashing with gop editing

[Kevin McCoy]

> Does the bug happen in Miller's 0.39.2?  Or Pd-extended 0.40.2?

Yes, it happens in both vanilla 0.39-2 and extended 0.40.2 as far as I
can tell.  I am cc'ing this to Yves as well since I thought he might
want to know about it, and I am going to post the bug report on
sourceforge right now.

So here's what it looks like as far as I can tell - if [playlist] has
a message box connected to its inlet when it appears in a GOP
abstraction, it causes a crash upon closing the patch and discarding
the changes.  There may be more to it than that but I think I at least
have this narrowed down.

I am also going to create a bug report for the [vectral~] issue since
that is also really important to my work.

Thanks for all that you do,
Kevin
