Excerpts from Axel Simon's message of Tue Jul 13 16:28:29 -0400 2010:
Well, if the C code hangs on to the StablePtr that wraps the ForeignPtr, its finalizer won't be run. But can run again once the StablePtr is freed. So you can take out the Ptr in the ForeignPtr and use it in C land as long as C holds on to the StablePtr.
That's what I thought, just making sure. It occurs to me that there might be a long term memory leak here. Cheers, Edward
