Sorry -- that wasn't clear.

What I meant: I *think* the values in last_result could be totally random,
so not just result->returned could be random (and potentially lead to
badness later), but also things like the string pointer, etc. So even if
the code snipit that I sent doesn't cause the fault, something slightly
later could cause the fault because of random values in last_result.

Sorry for the confusion...
