I can't really comment on that. As the code stands, neither of the two 
functions that we are discussing are reentrant. As long as the author 
and the user(s) of the routines are both aware of that then it isn't a 
problem.

I was just trying to fix a coding error that was picked up by Coverity 
Scan; it wasn't my intention to question the design.

Cheers,

Dave.
