[PD] netpd broken?

[mark edward grimm]

Hi Max,

Coincidently i tried this last night (or night before)
and got the exact same error - "pd cr.singletons".
Actually i think there was a hyphen in the error so it
was "pd-cr.singletons"

The error occurred using the latest autobuild
2008-05-28 for mac intel.

I then got an older build i was using prior to this
(2008-05-24) and everything worked fine - no error.

did something change in the autobuild maybe between
05-24 and 05-28 maybe that would give an error like
this?

Also all patches loaded into 'creator' were broken and
gave a simalar error for me...
