These, IMHO, need to be fixed, as something is plainly buggy there. How much time would this take from somebody who is fluent in C/C++ (needed to evaluate the rounding possibility) and not too scared of the Z-plane stuff? I'd look into it myself but I'd be out of my league in both fields.

I've asked a friend who's knowledgeable about DSP. He had a look at the ChucK source and seems optimistic that he (or one of his peers) may be able to find a solution for achieving stable, sweepable filter(s). Hard to say whether it will work out at this early stage though.
