This is the occasion to remind all of you of some debugging tools that can help 
here:

- read https://faustdoc.grame.fr/manual/optimizing/#debugging-the-dsp-code

- especially the interp-trace tool: 
https://github.com/grame-cncm/faust/tree/master-dev/tools/benchmark#interp-tracer

- which gives on master_me_gui.dsp : interp-tracer -trace 4 master_me_gui.dsp 

Libfaust version : 2.33.1 (LLVM 12.0.1)
Compiled with additional options : 
Using interpreter backend
getName master_me_gui

so does indeed detect the log10(0) failure reported by Dario.
