Did 36.3 kill loading?

    free() or realloc() are functions for moving data within an aray or removing it, it is used for the SDL buffer. Am I making any sense?

    Ok, I will not post anything about this (I lame at it) :)

    The free function that is causing the problem is during the http request, it's in code that I haven't written and it doesn't seem to make any sense, I am still looking into it.

    oh......never though of that. I assumed free was dumping data from the array. Sorry.

    Edit: spelling

    I think I may have fixed it.

    free() normally means allow the SDL surface to be edited again......but if its in the http stuff its probably to allow the port for something else.

    Some annoying crap
    Code that I had no written or modified that was working fine before, was for some reason not working correctly, there were a couple of "free" functions, that in certain situations, were trying to free pointers before assignments, in http.c and the search_ui function.
