Hey, Eduard.
I run mike's chuck patch and didn't get a bus error... but did get it with kassen's code.
I believe the proper term here is "WHAT?!".
Could you verify the version of ChucK you are running and your OS? We now seem to be in very strange territory, I'm hoping you are on Windows so at least don't have another unknown variable. Also; I got "segmentation fault", not a "bus error" on Linux.
However I could get rid of the error if the shred is declared but not "initilised", thus using a reference when declaring it. I think that's been always the case..., can't remember though.
That would've been my next attempt as well. At least I can report that your version runs fine for me. That's at least some coherency... This is getting quite strange, and we are not even trying to do something excessively weird, this is just about the most simple thing you can do with a Shred object.
