Most of my GOP-abstractions are broken in pd-l2ork, because I often fit
the GUI objects exactly into the GOP area. However, in pd-l2ork those
iemguis don't show up, because of two reasons:
* Compared the pd/pd-extended, the position of the iemguis is shifted by
2px to the right. This means they overlap the GOP area in pd-l2ork.
* In pd-l2ork, iemguis aren't shown in the parent canvas when they
perfectly fit into the GOP area. Only when there is a padding area of
3px width on the right side, they appear in the parent. Fitting iemguis
perfectly into GOPs is not supported in pd-l2ork.

I tried other stuff of mine and stumbled on some issues, though I didn't
invest much into finding out what the causes are. One patch does not the
connect to the server. It turned out, that the protocol test fails in
pd-l2ork for some reason. When it loaded a certain abstraction, pd-l2ork
startet to fully use the CPU and filling up the RAM until I killed the
process (this is reproducible). 

Symbolboxes' support for german umlaute is broken. When typing 'blä'
into:

[symbol\
|
[print]

an empty line is printed to the console window (not even the 'print:'
prefix shows up). messageboxes and other object classes seem not
affected by this. [symbol blä(-[print] works fine.

pd-l2ork certainly is in good shape, but calling it bug-free seems a bit
sensationalistic.
