NOT A [bug] named transport?
Max 6.1.6, OSx 10.6.8
All connections to named transports are lost on patch load. This behavior is unpredictable. The [transport] object is shown with no inlets or outlets.
The outlets will return after close...sometimes...but not the patch cables.
Been happening for a while.
Trying to think of why but coming up empty. Reinstalling Max to start.
It looks like you have a patcher/file somewhere in your search path called transport. Rename it and it should work fine.
Whoops. Forgot about that.
Not a bug.
Thanks EJ
