[chuck-users] some bugs on windows ChucK

[Ge Wang]

Hi Graham!

Greetings old friend!  Thanks for the excellent tests and yummy 
breadcrumbs!  There is definitely something funky with OSC since 1.3, on 
64-bit and 32-bit command chuck on OSX (1.3.1.0), I don't get the same 
crash as you did on windows 7, but getting memory errors on cleanup.

Looking into it now!

Ge!
