All these lunges (there are 3 "hey, stupid"s in your e-mail I am replying to) do not help to solve any of the problems.

  As I said earlier... complaining about people helping you is not acceptable.

  To be clear:  If you're writing a module in C, it is expected that you know how to use C.  You should know how to look at C header files.  You should know how to debug programs.

  In addition, if you're writing a module... you should contribute it back to the project so that everyone else can use it, too.  If you're not going to contribute it back, then it's *your* module, and *your* problem to fix.

  But the pointer is pointing to garbage memory.  That doesn't sound like it's valid to me.

  If you're going to write a proprietary module and not contribute it back... then it's *your* module.
