[Just did some more tests and realize the problem only occurs
  in Jean Piches cecilia csound binary.  I don't have the sources
  to it, but am CC'ing Jean so he can compare his sources.  I also
  attach a new format 0 Midi file with _only_ a program change.]

Yes, the case PROGRAM_TYPE clause should be executed in m_chanmsg 
but instead csound dies in the default clause with the message
"unrecognized message type 192" (which is, just as PROGRAM_TYPE, 0xC0).

Obviously, the code is right in the main sources.
