94	getStatus function returns object allocated on the stack	Knut Landmark		"In the Windows version of the `char* getStatus` function (service_internal.c), the array 

{{{char lpszBuf[SHMEMSIZE];}}}

is allocated on the stack, and then returned by casting `lpszBuf` to `(char *)`. This may (and does) cause unexpected behavior (segmentation fault) because the stack memory for getStatus is automatically freed when the function returns. One solution is to allocate memory for `lpszBuf` dynamically using `malloc` (can be freed after each call to getStatus).
