[PlanetCCRMA] Pd Crashes LL kernel

Is this using alsa or jack? I assume this is kernel 2.4.19-1.ll... I
have not really used pd in a long time.

I was planning on a package. That would be easy, except I want to find
the best jack support patch - the patch I'm using applies but is quite
old and most probably there is something better out there. Apparently
cvs has two versions of jack support, one using buffers (similar to the
one I think I have) and the other using proper jack callbacks. I have to
try them and see if they work fine. 

On all the 2.4.20 kernels I've been able to test so far I can make the
machine crash sooner or latter by running jack and a bunch of clients. I
don't think I have seen that on 2.4.19-1.ll but it might be that I have
not stressed it in the right way.
