...unless you are interested in the philosophical aspects of whether
crashing is a feature of pd, and the meaning of "unexpected" in the
context of the following:
"init" is one of many messages that Pd and its gui send back and
forth, which aren't intended to have any user-level functionality...
of course, some of those messages like "connect" have proved useful at
the user level; but none of them are guaranteed to do anything useful
or even to be safe. The only one that's "supported" is "dsp" for
turning audio computation on and off.
You can crash pd, or the equivalent thereof, banging a [until] without
anything else. Now what? Yes, it would be better if neither [until] nor
self-deletions would ever cause problems nor ever had gotchas, but both
[until] and self-deletions are in use right now and people can learn how
to ensure that they don't crash, and it didn't take *them* any guarantee
from any authority, and not even an impression of foolproof safety,
authority or not.
