Hi,

Thanx Olivier for working actively on the project. As you may I not 
as active as I should be but I'm still looking on the projects for
changes. You're right about the issue of simply casting C pointers
to OCaml value. I've missed this detail. Apparently using directly
a pointer could cause troubles when freeing the memory in the C-side.
