A quick question: Should the string pointed to by value.str.val always be 0-terminated? Or should all code accessing the pval/zval use value.str.len? Since strings sometimes contain binary data, I would think value.str.len was used, but I'm not surprised if the 0 is necessary. Should all code relying on a terminating 0 be changed? Stig
