Hi Larry, It's in the C code mainly because the buffer is an input to the driver. The driver takes a char* as input and I didn't want to pass a char* from python -> swig -> C since swig has memory leaks passing pointers. Do you think this is a Python issue or a Red Hat issue? I'm going to try it on my windows machine now and see what happens.
