Please explain If > you think there is need for comment. <SK> Thanks for the review. The sp reference can be taken and released on various paths. These comments make life simpler during some ref issue and also make code more understandable. For various scenarios, this comments helps in determining final reference count and check if its released properly or not. Thanks, ~Saurav
