Last time when there was a discussion about INIT/cdev communication
someone mentioned that using Gestalt would be the best thing to do.

However, in the documentation is says that you should pass a
pointer to a function to be associated with a specific Gestalt
signature. 

This means, in order to use Gestalt for INIT/cdev communication
you have to have executable code and data in the same memory block
so the code knows where to find the data. 

I thought this was a No-No. Is it not?
