I'm building quite a few pluggos these days, (Mac OS X 10.4.4, G4 

Albook 1.33, Max/MSP 4.5.6, Jitter 1.5.2, Pluggo 3.5.2, only standard 

Max/MSP distribution objects in the Pluggos) and often receive the 

following warning in the messages window upon instantiation in 

warning: max: extra arguments for message "oblist"

I've searched the archives and found little about this, except an 

unanswered question in relation to a standalone rather than Pluggos:

What I did google up was this from Tim place in

Everything seems to run fine, but these will eventually be 

distributed to other people working in other DAWs. Is it really 

harmless? And if it is, out of curiosity... what is it?

This error is most likely caused by something not being kosher in one of the files in the init folder. Perhaps one of these text files has some invisible characters, wrong line-ending format, or something like that.

The error is harmless in a Pluggo - since it only means that objects can't be added to the new object list (which you don't use in a plug-in).

Thanks Tim... the explanation allows my brain to stop thinking about
