[PD] [coll] bug

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Joining late to the party...

Being the culprit (I wrote the threaded addition to the coll object) I 
am curious--Alexandre, do you mind elaborating how did the threaded 
thing break max-msp compatibility? If you create a coll object without 
the optional arg, you get Max behavior. If you add the optional arg you 
get threaded which theoretically breaks determinacy in favor of avoiding 
dropping samples due to file I/O in the middle of a performance.

Tests in Max that stand out:

Reading and writing coll files while sound is running does not cause 
xruns in Max, whereas in Pd it can depending on the size of the coll 
file and CPU utilization.

You are right in that determinacy is preserved in Max no matter what 
(e.g. read outlet bang outputs immediately after issuing the read 
message in logical time).

Doing Uzi with 100k generated entries into coll object in Max and I get 
guaranteed crashes from these on both 6 and 7.

Best,

Ico
