it appears as though the fist 19XX positions are nulled out, but the last
few positions have some garbage in them... which I try to overwrite, which
causes the error.
how do I allocate some memory, clear it out, and then set my variable type
to use it???
I know how to do this with records, but not with simple variables in
memory...
thanks!
