If duplicate is set to false, this means the returned string is owned by the receiving code, so you should not free it (and it is assumed it is emalloc-ed, so if it's not, never use duplicate=false on such string). If duplicate is set to true, the receiving code gets the duplicate, so you can do whatever you want with the original string. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
