Cute. But as Iago points out, you'll have to make sure that your app
doesn't go into idle until the object is used. Tough call. I'd think
it's more dangerous than it is worth.

Try alloca() if you are into that sort of thing. It's frowned upon,
because it is a BSD extension (the GNU CC supports it). With that you
allocate the space in the stack and it gets freed on exit from the
function. Much safer. Just don't return a pointer to this mem ;-)
