I'm more than happy to contribute, but I remember being even happier making 
music. Anyway, I just copied a compiled version of zexy from an older 
installation on another computer and that works fine (so far).

But how about this: an abstraction (named wet-dry-mono.pd) in my working 
directory of patches loads fine in one abstraction but not in another - in the 
same patch.

The abstraction that loads wet-dry-mono.pd ok is in that working directory. The 
abstraction that does not load wet-dry-mono.pd ok is in a subdirectory of the 
working directory, and said subdirectory is loaded using [declare]. Not sure if 
those details are significant.
