Hi,

progress, but not understanding
So that's progress, but that's not yet understanding of any particular bug
that can be fixed. You'll need to trace through the code with print
statements or (better) a debugger to see where the misaligned pointer is
coming from or going even further back to understand the cause. If your
debuggging or code comprehension skills are "young", then this may take you
a long time (days).
Be aware that cargo-cult programming [0] will not be an acceptable
solution. You'll need to understand the actual problem that causes all
commands to disapper when closedb is run and be able to explain it, not
just make the problem go away. If you discover and fix a related bug in the
process, we can consider whether that warrants creating another task to be
claimed.
