Re: [sc-dev] on the nature of server crashes and restarts

Hi Andrew,

 It could be a memory allocation problem.  Remember that allocating  
system memory has to be done in a separate thread.
You can use preallocated realtime memory instead to keep everything  
synchronous.  Buffer and one of the delay ugens will
give examples of each.
