I think "&my_h_ent" was supposed to be changed to "&TMP.ent" in that  
macro.  (The "TMP" stuff was because making such narrowly-scoped  
automatic variables may not guarantee that the storage is still live  
when the pointer gets used.  Instead, now the caller has to supply a  
variable of a type controlled in this header, system-specific, that  
holds all the longer-lived storage we need.)

Lamar, could you let me know if that works for you?
