Yes. The troubles I had arose when an object gets called through some
receiver x and then unbinds a receiver y != x, through a direct call
to pd_unbind. That's what I was trying to explain all along. ;-)

I wouldn't say that it is safe to assume this. It may be somewhat
unusual that an object directly modifies a receiver y in response to a
message received via receiver x, but it's certainly useful is some
situations. So I can imagine that this isn't only relevant for
pd-faust. I haven't reviewed the IEM sources, though, so that I cannot
say which objects in iemlib or other libraries might be doing similar
things.
