[PD] Cycle~ difference with Max5. Was: Update cyclone maintenance

[Fred Jan Kraan]

Hi Alexandre,

Currently cycle~ works just as you described, with scrolling through a
buffer and zeroing the remainder. I also adapted the help patch by
including part of your patch.

The fact that I have Max5 doesn't mean I can use it very well. Using
arrays/tables/buffers and writing to them is sufficiently different, so
I completely fail to see how to do it :-(. Could take ages, which I
prefer to use for fixing more issues.

For now I try to fix the other objects affected by the
garray_getarraywords issue and then make new zips available. Unless
someone reports new bugs :-)

Greetings,

Fred Jan
