what are the symptoms of the crashes? does pd just quit with a segfault,
or does [shell] makes pd hang?

it's been a while, since i used [shell] the last time, but i remember,
that i could always make it work with what i wanted, it was just a
matter of writing the script in a way, so that it immediately exits or
detaches the running processes to the background. commands, that do not
exit, will make [shell] block pd. all this only applies, if you
experience hangs, but not segfaults, of course.
