[PD] Data structure array with last element pointing back to first element

[Jonathan Wilkes]

The 1st circle is under the 2nd, and Pd currently registers a click with the object at the bottom.  But is that a feature or a bug? 
Either way, if it's implementation specific it then writing the patch as you suggest would work correctly under one implementation 

while it wouldn't the move the circle at all under the other.
