  Thinking about it helps, too.

  Is request a valid pointer?  Is request->client a valid pointer?  Is request->client->cs a valid pointer?

  This isn't documented because (a) we don't have time to document everything, and (b) if you're programming your own module, we expect some ability to root through the header files and figure things out.
