Since I had to have a working patch by today I was changing the problematic
patch into one big one containing all the other patches that were to be
started at startup of the first patch. This makes it kind of inflexible for
now but: The watchdog signalling pd... is gone.
I'm still not sure if
I am getting pd-watchdog signals during loading of a pd patch on a -nogui
system.
I read that watchdog is trying to stop the pd thread to prevent lockup when
it can't get any pings to respond in time. Now the question is:
Is it possible that there are portions of the pd patch not loading

Hmmm -- it shouldn't have any effect, but I can't swear i doesn't.
To find out, I think you can just kill the watchdog process and see
if the flakiness goes away. Only downside to that is you no longer
have protection against Pd freezing your machine :)

Freezing the machine shouldn't be a problem. It's only running one pd patch
which is being automatically started right after the system (Ubuntu Stutio
8.04) has booted up. The patch won't be edited after that.
I'll have to see how I can kill watchdog before it does anything. Is there a
startup
Sorry, I just tried and killing the watchdog kills pd too, oops.
Only way I can see to do it is comment out the line in s_watchdog.c:
kill(getppid(), SIGHUP);
and recompile.
cheers

What if you do «kill -STOP» ?
This is what Ctrl+z does in the terminal, more or less...
