gen~, MC and JS inside a poly~ :)

Hi,

I'm trying to work on multithreading for an update to my WFS system.

Until now I had a poly~ with some gen in it and a JS script to handle the number of IO channels and connect all this together. No problem in Max 7 or 8.

Today I thought I would build something similar with MC wrapped objects to streamline the inside of the poly~. So I build a couple of abstractions that will be instantiated inside the poly~by some JC scripts. When I build them one at a time by hand everything is fine.

When I have to build a single instance of the poly~ if it contains more than one of the abstractions that contain the gen bits then I get a memory leak and I have to kill Max. Removing this abstraction solves the memory leak.
When I build exactly the same content by hand, I don't have any issue.
When instead of the abstraction I create loadmess objects with the script, no problem. And if I replace loadmess by the abstraction name then everything seems to work ok. It's like it's not handling too many instances at the patch's launch.

I tried to add #0 to the scripting names of the boxes I have to connect and it didn't help.

I would have added a delay in the JS script to slow things down since it looks like it's part of the problem, but I have several scripts going at the same time when launching the patch with the poly~ and there is no native delay/sleep function.

I'll try and clean up the patches and upload them.
