[sword-devel] getRawEntry() invalidates key

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Victor,
	This should not be so.  Could you show me code that does this?  My 
feeling is that you are grabbing a temporary key address created by the 
module and holding on to it.  This is not valid.  The module may, at any 
time delete and renew its internal key.  You should not hold on to it's 
address, but instead always get the key from the module every time you 
need it.

	The other alternative is to set a persistent key into the module:

	VerseKey myKey;
	myKey.Persist(1);
	module.SetKey(&myKey);

	Then the module will always use your external key.  e.g.  The following 
code is valid to change the module position:

	myKey = "John 1:1";
	cout << module;

and you have your key to which you can keep a pointer.

	Hope this helps,
		-Troy.
