Re: memory access problem

Hello James,

Do you know what is the invalid structure? That is, is it 

	me,
	me->physical, or
	me->address

that cause the problem?

I noticed that there HTAnchor_clearPhysical()  frees the memory
but doesn't set me->physical to NULL. That may be one problem.

In our previous episode, Jim Marshall said:

According to the order of evaluation, it should be the same as:

    me ? (me->physical ? me->physical : me->address ) : NULL;
