Also, as currently written, your create_id_string function writes to 
uninitialized memory when it calls _ui64toa, which probably explains 
some of the crashes I have seen before. Another reason you should be 
using portable and safe conversion functions. Get it working first, and 
then if you find that this function is a performance problem, deal with 
it then.
