it's been a while since i was fooling around with C... but 'p' is a
local variable on the stack, and if you return its address, then it
will point into nowhere when the C function's stack frame is unwound.

for that code you should receive a scary warning from any sane C
compiler.

and a bit of meta re your emails... read this:
