It's possible to crash Pd using "dynamic editing" (deleting objects reentrantly) and I don't know how to get around the problem without sacrificing run-time efficiency. If I can ever figure out how to do this safely I'll document it and make it "official" -- but since so many users are already using the existing "features" I feel I should keep them around for backward compatibility.
