Nice to hear you got it working! :-) Would be really great if this gets fixed 
in the source.

Yeah, so all that really needs to be done is to force symmetry by copying the 
0-pi phase inverted to the pi-2pi phase + guard points for [tabosc4~]. I did 
that and it's been stable for 3.5 hours. It wouldn't be too hard to fix this in 
the Pd source; it would be a marked improvement to [osc~] even with the 512-pt 
table and linear interpolation.

OK, subtracting out the DC is more stable, but still deteriorates after a bit, 
since the exact value likely changes with frequency due to interpolation. So 
the solution is going to have to be in writing the table. We can do it in Pd 
but we're hampered by the six-digit limit on specifying 2pi directly as a 
float. The most accurate pi I can think of for feeding through [cos] is [0 -1( 
-- [atan2]. [cos] uses the cosf() function from C, which expects floats instead 
of doubles, so hopefully the symmetry is better. I'm going to try it for a 
while and write back.

Well spotted.
