I seem to be running into some difficulty when adding more than one. Trying to commit the transaction results in an invalid argument error on commit. By any chance, is there a restriction on using the same allocated scf_value_t in the multiple scf_entry_add_value calls, i.e. Does the scf_entry_add_value add the address of 'value' or a copy? It seems like if I change or destroy the value once it is set, prior to commit, the commit will fail with the invalid argument error. Must I call scf_entry_add_value with a different scf_value_t for each scf_entry_add_value within a single transaction? Additionally, is there any max list length that I need be aware of? How about max astring/ustring size? - John
