Re: mallocForeignPtr vs. C

The easiest thing to do is copy the contents to a regular area of memory not managed by a Storable Vector.  This'll be much less painful because it's just a normal free (not a recursive one, which can get hairy).

Yeah, that's definitely the safest and simplest. But the copying defeats the purpose of passing a pointer in the first place, which was to not have to copy the giant array just to pass it.
