[PD] Strange behavior using custom external

You can make these changes (one from IOhannes and two of my suggestions
in-line below) and see if the error is gone. My guess is: probably not. I
didn't see any glaring problems that would cause memory corruption.
Could you also show us your rhynamo_set(symbol, float) function? Does the
error occur *only* after the set function gets used?
If for some reason, these small changes do fix your issue, just back up and
make one change at a time, and check if you can reproduce the error each
time. I'd be interested to know what actually causes it.

^--I don't think you need the addsymbol line. The rhynamo_set function
access is provided by the next addmethod line, immediately below.
