What happens currently if you click <ctrl-c> in the terminal on a Pd 
instance that's using that network resource?
Is LB_PANIC a public interface (having an external and/or pd class interface)? 
Or is it a private interface that Pd would use to call free methods?
Is there a deep reason to have it named "panic" which clashes with its meaning 
in Linux?

A naive question-- suppose I have a [foo] external in my patch and click <ctrl-c>.If LB_PANIC calls foo_free, and I have a blocking call there to free up 
resources for libborksalot.so, what happens?  If that resource just hangs, is 
my terminal likewise now hanging, unresponsive?

i'm not really interesting about "closing windows".
what i do want is to call the "free" method of each object though
(assuming that those objects are written properly to free any open
ressources in their destructor).

so one from the new millenium: locking a network ressource (e.g. an
gigabit IP-camera that saturates the the network once it's told to start
delivering frames).
