I'm still intrigued as to how such a situation could come up where
something is saved through a pointer but in another program it isn't.
I looked at the above link and didn't find this.  Basically, my view
is that anyone tripped up by this error can't be writing anything
that makes sense anyway.  I'm looking for a counter example to
this.
