nice idea, but sadly, doomed to failure.  note that the code to copy
the patch arrays *requires* you to be able to take the sizeof() those
arrays to know *exactly* how much to copy.  if you pass the array to a
function by its address, i'm pretty sure you lose the ability to take
its sizeof() anymore, isn't that right?

This is not right. Guess how memcpy() works - it's a function, btw.

sure.  and it accepts a size parameter, which is why it works.  i'm 
not sure what you're getting at.
