Actually, I solved the error for my situation last night - I just forgot to write it in as SOLVED. I had created a temporary pointer, then assigned the temporary pointer to a variable I was planning to return from a method, then deleted the temporary pointer. I'm not used to using pointers. I've always heard that you should always delete your pointers when you're done with them and for some reason I thought the delete keyword deleted the pointer instead of the memory it was pointing at... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
