OK, I admit I overreacted. The technique David is using is
generally safe, but I thought that the way is was stated, it looked
like there was a potential problem with the code. However, this
problem would only occur if a dereferenced handle is stored in
the structure, which was the case I (mistakenly) thought he
was showing.

I apologize to David for accusing him of fake-handlism.

As for DTS's image on the net, all I can say is that I
hope that people have enough sense to keep the writings
of individual DTS people seperate in their heads. We don't
speak on UseNet as part of our job: it is just something
that we (collectively) do to encourage the spreading of
information, on our own time. Personally, I don't want to
be lumped into any group for my postings. What I write, I
write, and I want neither credit nor scorn for what Paul, Keith,
or any other DTS/Apple people choose to write.
