Don't quote me on this, but I believe that marshal uses a string in bytecode with threads, uses straight malloc with bytecode and no threads, and never uses strings in native code. I'm /very/ unsure about that last one, but I am pretty confident that in some cases, whether it uses strings depends on whether threads are involved.

I used a bytecode version.
I checked the code of output_value, and it uses an internal
string. So it won't work.
Anyway, I knew I would have to go for a more serious
solution as soon as data get really large. I think of
using something like GDBM.
Thanks for the help.
