quite possibly. depends on what you are doing... when you do
'copy sample', afaik it doesn't actually create a new sample,
just a new pointer to the old one (pretty clever, but...) however
i doubt that in 1988 they took into account what you were trying
to do; it's more designed to use the same sample sets with different
analog parameters (which does work well). 

especially, if you optimized the memory like this... who knows
what it would do? if you had a sample _begin A B C D end_ where
ABCD were points in the sample, and patch 1 set begin/end to
A B, and patch 2 set begin/end to C D, instead of doing it 
'properly' it might have trimmed it to just A and B, with weird
results after that. who knows. 

it seems though that for things that work properly, they always
work properly (never saw a 'random' type crash), and things that
don't are easy to find out :) 

i like the filters myself :) but i know what you mean...
