[PD] found how to reproduce Pd-ext 0.43.4 Tcl Invalid Command Name error

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

That bug is not related, though I might look similar.  Any time you see things like .x2415b0 those are the unique IDs that Pd uses for each Window in the GUI.  ".x2415b0: no such object" basically means that Pd is trying to send a command to a window in the GUI, but that window does not currently exist (like it was closed) and Pd didn't get the message about that window closing.

This patch is a nice clear example, so it should be possible to track the bug down.  Marco, if you haven't already, can you add that patch tarball to a bug report in the tracker?  A reference to this thread would also be helpful.
