never!

i think this has been mentioned on this list a couple of times, but
let's do it again

you ought to start Pd from the cmdline/shell/CLI (the thing you get when
you do "Cmd-R" and start the "cmd" program), use "pd.com" (rather than
"pd.exe"), give it the "-stderr" flag (so it won't print to the
pd-console but to the console instead), and eventually add "-verbose
- -verbose" to the flags.
something like:

$ C:\Programme\pd\bin\pd.com -stderr -open patch.pd 2> pd.log


this will print everything into a log-file "pd.log".
once you triggered the crash, the pd.log will still be their and ready
for future inspection.

no need for a .bat file.
.bat files are their for convenience, so you don't need to reiterate
simple tasks.
let's hope that you don't need to debug so often, that you need a
convenience framework for that.

just add "-verbose -verbose" (that's 2* "-verbose") right after ther
"-stderr"...
