[PD] TouchOSC makes Pd crash, on UbuntuStudio, not in Ubuntu

It's a message without argument: /1
I think this should be valid OSC? (Wasn't this the same problem reported 
with Totalmix?)

However, the messages /1 crashes routeOSC if chained like this:

[/1 (
|
[routeOSC /1]
|
[routeOSC /foo]

And even if not specified in OSC, it should at least not crash Pd :-)
