[PD] Pd and computer crash/freeze when using [comport], bug?

[Alexandros]

I had a look at your setup. In my computer I could lower [metro] down to 
3ms without issues. At 2ms Pd crashed. One thing to note: upload the 
following code to your Arduino board:

void setup() {
     Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
     Serial.write(13);
     delay(500);
}

In Pd connect [comport] to [print]. If Pd prints 13 you should be good 
to go with the [serial_print] abstraction (and I don't know what's wrong 
and why your computer crashes, TBH). If Pd prints 10 then you need the 
[serial_print13] abstraction (it might be counter intuitive that when 
you don't get 13 printed you need [serial_print13], but that's how I've 
named them...). In my computer I get a 10 printed, on my Raspberry Pi 
with a Teensy I get 13. I have no idea why this happens, it seems to 
depend on the hardware.
