it only locks Pd if you are printing the character via pd-gui (either
print to console or via a symbolbox)
that's also the reason why it is prohibited to type curly braces in Pd.

the quick fix is to trust that curly braces are created with the
[makefilename] trick and don't display them (and if you must, use
"-stderr" and print them to...stderr)

curly braces are reserved in tcl (the language pd-gui is written in).
displaying a "{" will make pd-gui wait for a matching "}", and while
it does so, it will hang.
