Well, I'd be more worried about that too, but the thing is, I wanted to 
probe with a simple issue that has an obvious solution, and if everybody 
at LAC «kind of agreed» to Miller's not-giving-a-damn answer, nothing is 
going to be happening with a can-of-wormsish issue like memory allocation 
handling that potentially involves the interface to externals and all of 
the source code of all externals.
