[PD] "argument out of range" when using $1/$2 for send/receive name

[Derek Holzer]

Maybe this happens before the variables have been given values? A 
[loadbang] with a value might get rid of the error message, if it only 
happens at the startup of the patch.

It might also be good to know which object gives the error, i.e. "find 
last error" when you get it.
