Program layout in memory (is anything overwriting my static pointer?)

[Wolfgang Draxinger]

One more time: have you read section 5 of the comp.lang.c FAQ?

I did now, and...

It has an excellent discussion of null pointers, and would have
answered most of your questions.

http://www.c-faq.com/null/confusion.html pretty much sums up this
thread

I want to apologize, if I seriously annoyed people (OTOH I guess
it's still better, than to deal with the usual trolls, though).

Yes, it was better. The trolls will argue as passionately as you did,
but they never learn anything, and never apologize. You've done both.
