Thanks.
Just for clarification, am I right in saying that.. if I did (and have
done in this case)
tmp_cp = malloc(sizeof(char) * 10);
cp = tmp_cp
free(tmp_cp);
tmp_cp = NULL;
then cp would now be pointing to a block of memory that could be used by
some other process/overwritten? Would that not make it impossible for me
to actually free tmp_cp, as cp needs it?
