[PD] Weird behavior of [moocow/bytes2any], or not?

[Alexandros Drymonitis]

I'm trying several lists from symbols with [moocow/bytes2any] and the
following behavior seems a bit strange to me.
The following symbols, converted to numeral lists behave fine:
a_float, a_string, string, a_bang, bang

The corresponding lists sent to [bytes2any] are:
97 95 102 108 111 97 116
97 95 115 116 114 105 110 103
115 116 114 105 110 103
97 95 98 97 110 103
98 97 110 103

If I send these lists to [bytes2any] it will output the correct messages
(a_float, a_string, etc.). The symbol "float" though, which is converted to
the list "102 108 11 97 116", when sent to [bytes2any] produces a 0 out the
left outlet of the object.

I have attached a patch that demonstrates this. The symbols are converted
to lists with [list fromsymbol]. I could use [list tosymbol] to create
symbols from the lists, but I want to test [bytes2any] in this case.

Is this behavior expected or is it a bug?
