try to isolate when the bug happens (the smaller the patch needed to
reproduce the bug, the better)


file a bug report at http://sf.net/projects/pure-data, including the
patch that triggers the bug.


if the bug produces a crash and you have the facilities, try producing a
backtrace in a decent debugger:
$ gdb -args pd /path/to/testpatch.pd
[..]
% run
[run the bugpatch and wait for the crash]
% bt
[copy the backtrace and add it to the bugreport]
% quit
$
