Great, thanks for verifying.

Well, my *expectation* is that if an exception is thrown the variable would not
be modified; that's because I'd expect the assembly to look something like:
call tvb_get_ptr()
store the result in the appropriate place
Of course if an exception is thrown the 2nd instruction would never be
executed. But whether it's /required/ to be like this I don't know...
