Dude, I finally got it working!!! And i'm pissed at what my biggest problems
have been. It turns out that if i have a function in an xsub that does a
malloc, then it segfaults, haowever, if the xsub function calls a c function
that does a malloc, (same with the appropriate free) then it works fine!
Everything works great now. but I can't figure out what the difference would
be.
