If it didn't crash you could use "Find Last Error" to find out which 
#store it comes from. Pd patches don't have "line numbers" (sigh).

You are using Debian. You upgraded in the last 3 months and didn't reboot 
to see if something broke. Something got upgraded but not reloaded and so 
you were running the old working copy while the new buggy/incompatible 
copy was sitting unused on the harddisk. Well, that's how I'd explain it, 
except I can't pinpoint anything down.

What is flext doing in there?... What if you don't load flext? GridFlow 
does not use flext. I wonder how it can even call flext.

Either gdb is lying or this is a serious problem. This is an attempt to 
destruct the object pointed by NULL, but NULL doesn't point anywhere by 
definition.

Maybe you could try loading with valgrind 
--suppressions=gridflow/tests/suppressions.valg3 which might report more 
interesting things than gdb.

serious stack smashing starting at #37 or something.
