it turned out that the crash was unrelated to videoPYLON.

instead the problem was that the patch logic would open and close
patches dynamically - with the closing of a patch being triggered from
within the patch itself.

so the patch committed suicide and took Pd down as collateral damage.

the moral of the story is: don't do dynamic patching if you don't know
*exactly* what you are doing.
