You have already lost

When the following code introduces a valgrind warning… you are in a world of pain and loss:

    What was valgrind warning you about?

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

    Maybe valgrind just doesn’t like ass? :)

    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.
