Hi Nyquist list,
First I must apologize to Roger because my stupid mailbox had sent
the original mail to Roger's CMU address and not to the Nyquist list,
so Roger has this mail probably double now. Sorry.

The problem is wx-Widgets, not Nyquist. The bug is produced by the
Audacity C++ code in the Audacity Nyquist interface while parsing the
Nyquist-plugin header lines.
This bug was fixed in the past several times by Markus Meyer (who already
is informed about this because on an american system the bug ist probably
not reproducable) but the bug frequently re-appears every time after an
american programmer has poked around in the Audacity Nyquist interface.
A different (but also very well-known) bug:
In Audacity 1.3.8 I cannot even run a simple Nyquist lowpass filter like:
(lp s freq)
without crashing Audacity by huge memory allocation.
Any ideas?
