[PD] Mac OSX 10.7 resume states crash Pd-extended

[Dan Wilcox]

Ok, it dawned on me that Pd-Vanilla was working fine since it's not loading the prefs file I use for Pd-Extended ...

I tracked it down to my startup line which loads my main audio/OSC/playlist patch on startup in Pd-Extended. I usually leave that always open, so quitting with it open means Pd-extended starts 2 at the same time and I get problems:

tk scaling is 1.0
Pt_Start() called
in stat: : No such file or directory
in stat: : No such file or directory
udpreceive: bind: Address already in use (48)
bind: Address already in use (48)
pd: exiting

When the two patches start, there's a beach ball running then pd exits. Now it seems to exit nicely, so perhaps 10.7's autokill sends a sigterm, etc when the socket binding takes too long ... although Im only guessing.

Removing the patch from startup fixes the problem, pd can resume patches fine ... I even tried quitting and restarting with a couple copies of udprecieve-help open and no problems ... hrm so it's in my patch somehow. Will test some more.

It finally dawned on me that OSX is trying to load the previous "saved state" since I had CMD-Q'd Pd with windows open. It automatically opens those windows at start. I assume pd is not yet ready for these and crashes due to some init order issue ...
