new Patcher -- getwind called on invalid object -- possible bug?

Hi guys,

I've been experimenting with the new Patcher constructor.

Everything seems to be working fine apart from I am getting error messages in the max window. It's particularly strange because the code these errors are referring to still executes and works.

Here is an example:

function newPat(reference) {
var thePatcher;

thePatcher = new Patcher();

theWind = thePatcher.wind;

theWind.hasgrow = 0;
theWind.hashorizscroll = 0;
theWind.hasvertscroll = 0;
theWind.title = reference;

thePatcher.front();
}

For every message to theWind I get this message in the max window:
"method getwind called on invalid object"
Although as I previously mentioned the message is still executed.

Is this a bug?
