It copies the data. I can't think offhand why it was implemented that
way, but then I didn't write the code (Anoop & Siva @ Pervasive did).

Anyhoo, as I've said, that approach has now been abandoned anyway in
favour of Hiroshi's, so it's him you'd need to convince to change. The
rest of us have only just started re-learning the code.
