Attachmentstestcsd.csd  
I've been using the attached instr50 for quite a while and I've just
noticed it now causes some odd behaviour to Csound(I'm using 5.11).
I've had to uproot it from it's original setting to put it into a csd
some of you may be able to try. I'm not using any of instr50's
processing, I'm simply using it to output a straight signal. When
running the audio stops after about 7/8 seconds, not just on instr50
but across ALL instruments. Csound doesn't spit out any errors except
for an interrupt message. As you can see it's a midi instrument but
you don't need MIDI hooked up to appreciate the problem here. Would
someone mind trying it on their PC to see if they get the same
behaviour? Cheers,

Rory.

Also running on (a sort of) 5.11 doubles on Win,
it does behave the same each time I run it,
sometimes it might choke (for lack of a better word) after less than one second,
but it's also possible to let it render the full 100 seconds.
I can't spot the error immediately, but I think there's some "shooting
oneself in the foot" in here somewhere ;-)
Since it's processing live input, the actual input signal may affect
how long it's allowed to run. When I run it on my laptop, it
immediately goes into a thin and piercing feedback, as the mic and the
speakers are close.
When it choked after less than a second (this happened many times in a
row), finally I tapped the laptop mic at the same time as starting
csound, and that seemed to "push"  the process just enough to create a
feedback loop instead of a choke.
Interesting puzzle, how much more can you strip it down before it does
not randomly choke anymore ?

Oeyvind

I'm just stripping it down now. You're right, if there is a signal
when the process starts it works much better, if there is silence when
the process starts it chokes.

Denorm! Excellent, can you explain why one needs to "Mix low level
(~1e-20 for floats, and ~1e-56 for doubles) noise to a list of a-rate
signals"?

I spoke too soon. I'm afraid that doesn't work either. It does however
stop it from choking at the very start, now it's much more erratic!
