[PD] Patch acting weird with Pd 0.46.6

[Pierre Massat]

Thank you both very much for the explanations. So if I got it right, the
loop in itself was behaving as expected, but what was being printed in the
console was not reflecting that. Instead print behaved like a list prepend.
That's good to know, I candidly thought that print objects were printing
out stuff in real time irrespective of what was going on in the rest of the
patch.

Cheers,

Pierre.
