Yes Michael, I've got that part memorized by now. My question is: Why save and then restore the old pointer? This old pointer stems from back when we called dbNameToAddr. And it may now be invalid, the memory it points to either freed or (in case of a double buffer scheme) busy receiving data in a different thread. Both of which mean that we mustn't dereference it anyway. So why even remember it?
