I had the same problem with some PD programs downloaded to my ST, until I 
found the problem. May be you ran into the same problem.
I uudecoded the arc'd programs on our Unix machine and downloaded the files
using Kermit (to a PC). I got TOS error 35 (which means "too many open files"
and is arbitrary I think). I have found that Kermit corrupts binary files during
transfer. However, Kermit offers a binary mode (sending two readable 
bytes for one octet). After using this mode, the downloaded PD programs 
work fine.
