Hi, Chars

Thank you.

 I use it for send pkts to the dedicated queue of slaves.

Maybe i  should not use it. I would though another way.

I guess this is slightly more correct. There is still a race here though.
After you make your copy of active_slave_count, the number of active slaves 
could go to 0 and the memcpy() would copy an invalid element, acitve_slaves[0]. 
 There is no simple fix to this problem.  Your patch reduces the opportunity 
for a race but doesn't eliminate it.

What you are using this API for?
