I wasn't using the -path flag, just trying to call a help file for an 
abstraction stored in the same directory as the parent patch is saved. So if I 
have one folder with "parent.pd" which loads an object [abstract], stored in 
the same folder, PD will crash if I right click on [abstract] and ask for the 
help file (whether or not the file "abstract-help.pd" exists.)

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.
