[PD] [menubutton] bug on W 11 machine

[Fred Jan Kraan]

Hi Oliver,

This look a bit like a 32/64 bit issue. For Windows both versions exist 
for Pd and also for the tof library. Are all the Pd versions the same 
word-size and it matches the tof-word-size?

It might also be a change in the Pd (non-public)-API, but it is good to 
eliminate other possible causes.

Greetings,

Fred Jan
