Hi everybody,

in the past several people have reported crashes when using some of my externals (Mach-O versions) in the Runtime version of Max 4.5. I finally managed to fix that bug, so new versions will be uploaded soon (flashserver already is updated, I have to check which other externals might be affected as well).

Since other developers might have experienced the same problem, here's a short description what happened (maybe it's even a bug in Max runtime?): In order to be able to allocate more memory than getbytes() was able to give me I used t_getbytes in non-dsp externals. Do do so I just included z_dsp.h and linked to the MaxAudioAPI library. This worked fine in the normal Max version but crashed in the runtime in case there was a t_getbytes() call in the xxx_new() routine. Calling t_getbytes later on seemes to work fine. Max standalones were also affected by this crash. Using sysmem_getptr () and friends instead of the t_getbytes() calls now solved the problem for me.

best, Olaf
