  1. What was valgrind warning you about?

    I’m expecting this to be some totally Drizzle specific black magic, but I’m still curious.

  3. Soo…. this is the inheritance chain:

    Field <- Field_str <- Field_blob and Field <- Field_str <- Field_varstring and the code casts a Field_blob to a Field_varstring.
