It's "strange" and in the opinion of several other developers like IOhannes
(and I think me, too) buggy by design, too. But if you load the abs~.pd_darwin
with "-lib abs~" then that should override the internal. 

However it's better for now to replace the [abs~] with the tabread~ solution I
posted as "absolute~.pd" yesterday. Just embed it into the patch.
