Ugh.  I don't code C often enough anymore.

Thank you for catching that.

As described by others in the thread... I only replaced selected
calls.  Well, most of them, maybe too many.  But I didn't want to
expose everything to the client.  So I added new functions.  Yes, it
was painful.  I wasn't happy about it.  But I also wasn't happy about
exposing every message to the client over the side-band channel.
