[PD] bug in gemlist object?

[Doug Taylor]

Hi Cyrille -

Thanks for your feedback on the gemlist object. I tried your
suggestiojn and I can confirm that it is the gemlist object that
crashes Pd (in Windoze). Attached is mt patch which you could perhaps
test in yr Linux environment and see if you have the same problem.

Regards
