Several points (as a Software Distiller):

1. Why haven't you tried to let us know what the bug in BLink is?
   No offense, but I suspect the bug may not be in BLink, since BLink has
   had a lot more use and testing than your compiler.

2. The chances of releasing the source are nil, since we no longer 
   control it.  However, we may be allowed to release one more PD
   version solely to fix bugs.
